i don't restore cars. i'm a mechanic and i work on old cars (and sometimes new). you need suspension rebuilt? no problem. you need a rear end swapped? sure thing. wanna go from a slant to a V8, or swap a big block? that's my jam.
but no restoration. brakes, waterpumps, tune ups, reseal an engine. all day man. just old school mechanical work.
(yes the occasional LS swap makes its way thru as well)
