Default MD/DC/NoVA/Southern PA people - I could use some help.

As most of you know my car is a mess. I do not currently have anyplace to work on it. My parents are in the middle of selling their house so I cannot work in their garage. I have no other place I can go currently. What I would need is a garage/work area, inside, through this weekend. I will be working nights and then Saturday and Sunday to strip the car.

I don't want to sound ungrateful here but if I have not met you personally I won't take your offer - no matter how good it may be. I am too concerned about my investments being stolen while under someone elses care.

TIA

If you don't get any closer offers I may be able to help you out.
How will car get to/from location? Do you have access to hoist and vehicle to move your motor?

The car is on the trailer right now. Getting it off will be "fun" but not too hard. It does not roll right now. Removal of the "carcass" will be done via rollback from a scrapyard. Hoists etc are not necessary since the easiest way to pull a motor is to drop it out the bottom. A few floor jacks and some jack stands are all that is necessary.

Thanks guys!

I *may* have found a full service shop in Frederick to use for a weekend. It has air, 2 lifts and everything else I could need. I will know more on Wednesday.

Mike - You are not too far. I will let you know about the other deal. I may use your facilities for the initial build of the new beast.


Anyone who may be interested in helping strip the chit outta this thing lemme know. I don't know dates but it will probably happen either this weekend or next.

Well I scored a shop and a bunch of help for this weekend here in Frederick. I also have several backups in case I need them. I appreciate all the offers guys. If any of you ever need anything hit me up.
