Topic: [Looking For] USA Collectible Car Dealer/ Car Mechanic (Read 355 times)

I am a muscle Car dealer (since 1987) and multi high award restorer and customizer in Orlando Florida. What you got?

you could have written it in private you know, explaining the diffuculties... ill do the spreadshit myself meanwhile and lets continue in pm please..

I'm still around but I don't have the time to gather so much data, do all the calculations, and make spreadsheets and presentations for you on a longshot chance of actually undertaking a project..

I mean I could do it, but your talking a few hundred dollars worth of work just to put this request together for you..
Also, I'm not a physicist..  
How much would a more well equipped physicist charge for such a task?

Your looking at like 5 hours a piece to research and decide on each individual component, and their are many..

you would have to get the best quality, performance, and scale for fitment of each individual project for the money, and then you could calculate it for each individual project.. But I have no idea how much of or how big of each component will fit into a project.. You can fit a heck of a lot more in the back of a suburban than an rx7 and it can hold more weight but will have more drag..
Drag coeficient? I don't even know what vehicle I would be calculating the CD for, though in my experience they are listed for most vehicles..

Suggestion..
Low drag coefficient..
Light weight..
Easily stiffened rear suspension..
Lot of room in the back..
Proper drive train layout..
Chassis reliability..
Cheapness to maintain/restore chassis..
Initial cost to buy..

Porsche 924-944 maybe even 928..


Sounds fun but I don't have the time for such a presentation without a decent commitment..

still looking

Hey eddie,
Thanks for your reply. it does seem like you know your stuff. quite remarkable. lets take it to private.

I'm a pretty damn good mechanic and kindof personally specialize in working on old, different, strange, peculiar, unique kinds of cars, motorcycles, and all sorts of machines..

Right now I professionally run and service oilfield machinery, because it pays..

Frankly I can work on anything because I am excellent at researching to figure out how to work on things I never have before and have an excellent natural understanding of machines..

Classic cars?
Actually I am very familiar and geeky about old school German mechanical fuel injection, like k-jetronic stuff..
Carburetors? Child's play..
Custom turbocharger systems, oh yeah.. I build custom turbos in my bedroom..
Manual transmissions..
I can do a good bit of automotive electronics, especially older stuff.. points and condensor?
I can do engines, I have and can use specialty low tolerance measuring equiptment..
I've done pushrod engines, sohc dohc, timing belts and chains..
I also weld, fabricate, more machine shop experience than your average joe..
I don't do bodywork and that artsy type shit..

What do you need worked on or advice on? Or are you looking for pre purchase inspections before you send our old cars over the ocean?

Let me know..
Really I can do pretty much anything if it's worth my time to figure it out and do it right..
Like, I've never touched a jet engine before but I have no doubt I could rebuild one given some research and the proper tools..

If your just talking old Chevy engines and the like, I own a carbureted 454, runs goood, just put a 400 smallblock in a pickup, just did a timing belt on a Honda v6 and a Subaru, rebuilt the variable valve timing on my BMW, Porsche head gasket, just a few of my recent works not to mention the immeasurable suspension, break, drivetrain, etc work I've done on countless cars.. Rebuild differentials..

I could go on for ages..

Looking for both  Collectible Car Dealer and a Car Mechanic in the USA for an interesting offer. will, of course, require some proof from his/her your side.
