Good mechanics?
Hey im officially bringing my camaro to NJ when I move up next week.
I need a good reliable guy shade tree or licensed to help me get the car running. I dont have alot of money and it runs but it has blown headgaskets. I dont think the damage is too bad tho.
I am planning on getting the motor BUILT in a few months but for now just want to be able to drive it.
If any one in the middlesex, sayreville area knows a good guy or is willing to hep a fellow fbody guy out let me know. Precciate it guys
Jeremy

there is a correlation between beer and doing a head gasket job. the more beer you drink, the lighter those iron heads are

pizza and beer are the two highest motivating factors when it comes to getting a helping hand.

I have a two car garage that I can clear out and I have shop lamps somewhere. I dont have any tools though.  I appreciate all the help I can get, and this would be a great way for me to meet some members of the board...think of it as a Fbody Gathering!
