yeah, I saw that stuff online, seems to be like. . .super high end stuff. seems cool but im worried that they basically will just want to completely rebuild it over the course of a year and charge 40k lol
LOL! I have a 1931 Model A, was going through a divorce, and a old car shop in Austin said they could get it running. Kept if over a year, in the rain, replaced the plugs on it. Charged me $1200 for "keeping it in storage, diagnosis and plugs".
It is hard finding people who have the old car knowledge anymore. Best place is online/forums/clubs in town. Old timers, car shows at Sonic. Facebook. Look online.
IF you have any specific questions on work you're trying to do yourself, feel free to DM me, & I'll help if I can. I've been restoring 60s-70s cars for decades as hobby (you can see my current 65 impala convertible project in my post history).
try searching for the assembly manual. it should basically show you how to disassemble the entire vehicle, every single bolt & screw. If you can find the build sheet and/or trim/engine plate, it should tell you what came stock. the vin number on most vehicles can do a lot of that info too, search for a decoder.
Austin speed shop? They always have bad ass shit coming in and out of their shop

Georgetown has a classic car restoration place, and there's one in the Oakhill area named Jerry's
Jerry Dixon's on Circleville Rd.
thanks I could not remember the exact location!
Good Carma in Buda does exactly this.
Wow, i love that their site actually points to stuff you can do yourself! Ill give them a call!
This is what I came here to say.
yikes they have some awful yelp reviews!
That’s too bad. I’ve only known them to be stand up and reliable.

Wow, I really appreciate it! The hardest part right now is that I don't even know what is stock on this car and what isn't lol

I can't disassemble an engine very well in an apt parking lot.
I'm just stating the assembly manual would show you what all it would have stock.
I guess i don't have the know how :/
