Actually the shop I checked with is one that I have used quite a bit in
Moorhead, MN. The car is in storage outside of Fargo, ND.
It looks as if I will bring the car down to the Cities before I do the clutch.
I would be interested in any recommendations you have for good LBC garages in
the area.
Thanks,
