Model T mechanic needed in Central PA

[Tom Benjey]

I need to hire a Model T mechanic to get one running. It shouldn't take more than a day, two at the most. It's a 1926 chassis and running gear with a depot hack body. The sheet metal is off to be painted, so access is easier. The car is located in the Carlisle area.

Jan, clubs in general are great for networking;  but for this case,

I think he needs a more immediate answer.  Thankfully, he's in the

heart of antique-car territory.

 

I know of several excellent restoration shops in the area--

and probably well qualified for Model T's--but they tend to

have waiting lists of months upon months.  I'll send a P. M.

with the name of one man I know.

It’s easier to get a Model J Duesenberg fixed than it is to fine someone to fix a Ford T. I make this statement from experience!

I thought anyone with a pair of slipjoint pliers and a hammer was a Model T mechanic.

We are close and experienced with T's but we are totally swamped with work these days.

We are North I81 two hours in the Scranton Region.  Tuesday nights, we have workshops to work on members cars of our local AACA region. Many members have A’s and T’s.

He asked us a question, but then he hasn't

visited the forum since the day he asked the question.

I sent him a Private Message but he never read it.

 

Tom, come back--your forum friends want to help you!

Skip would be a choice but as has been posted here - the OP has not followed up.
