As far as the information is concerned, this Forum is the best place in the world to get the true low-down. As far as the best professional to do the job? My guess is that's YOU!!!!
Here's why I say that: I've been turning wrenches since I have been 16. Never very well, until I turned about 45 when I started building Harleys in earnest. Before that, it was only switching out parts
(I usually switched the most expensive part first...just because I was lame).
Oh, I could change an exhaust or intake manifold on a non-smog V-8 okay. But then, I bought a '72 swb Chevy with a crap motor and trans. I started reading and asking questions. I got help for the muscle.
And the brains. In short, I was never in a hurry...I made it a hobby. Now, other than lower ends on the motor, or getting deeper inside the auto trans than the screen/filter, wrenching calls to me.
And, the fact that *I* do it makes it mine. But that's just my take.
I still have to ask for help. And I do it without any ego. That's just the way I roll.
Of course, that's not the question you asked. Everybody has their own way to "get r done", as the guy says. And I respect any way you, or any body else does it. Not saying you do, but personally,
I just flat-out couldn't afford to, or want to do it with a checkbook.
I sure don't know how to do body work or paint. So, sealed up primer it'll be until the checkbook gets fattened up.
