Ran into an old friend James Leonard that I have not seen in 27 years.
He is a Toyota Dealership mechanic with many years of experience at Fairfax Toyota who currently owns a small shop out in Front Royal.
Has a lot of experience working on Land Cruisers.
His name is James and his cell is 540-622-7461. Home is 540-636-6932. Email is
jaml70@aol.com. No welding, just wrenching and servicing. Can work on V8 trucks too.
There is also a young guy right here in Great Falls Va near my house who does rust restoration and body work. His name is George and has a college degree in Automotive Restoration! How cool is that! His expertise is Model A Fords but he works on anything. You can reach him at
gsmolenyak@aol.com He can also weld up Metaltech or do other stuff like welding on sliders, etc. He's be handy for v8 work as he has a hot rod Corvette.
Both of these guys are super solid with lots of professional experience. Not shade trees turned pro - not that there is anything wrong with that
