Hello all!

I would consider myself to be a fair shade tree mechanic, but not where I would like to be. My 63 PV is in purdy darn good shape, and runs well, but I think I can get more out of her.

SO here is what I am asking. Is there anyone in the Central Valley/Sacramento/Bay Area region that would be available for some on-site tech support? My local shop mechanic owns several old Volvo's and is very good, but they are often times too busy for quick turn arounds. Sometimes it takes a week or more to schedule an appointment and then it may take another week to complete the work order.

Compensation can come in the form of cash, or trading of time, or your favorite adult beverage.

I plan on keeping my little project for a long time, and know that I am eventually going to stub my toe on something.

Thanks!

    Great request, if I was within 100 miles of you I would invite you here to share the knowledge or tools and space or travel to your hut for the same. Hopefully you will find a willing enthusiast in your area!

      BTW, adult beverages are legal tender in my shop

        Adult beverages should be THE ONLY legal tender for shade-tree mechanics helping each other out.

        Wrong coast, but if I was local, I'd swing by frequently to help out as well. There's not much better than hanging in a garage, tools in hand, talking shop on old Volvos.

        Good luck in your search.
