    While I was at Roundup I got a call from a frustrated woman who lives in Reseda CA, and she is having a hard time finding a good mechanic for her Maverick. Her car is featured in the Collectible Automobile August 2008 edition. Please PM me if you have a reliable mechanic who understands these cars. She is at her wits end, and the car is a daily driver. Please PM me as much info as you can that I can relay to her.
    Thanks
    Dan

    Marlon is pretty well known in the San Fernando Valley, he is also a Ford guy. Have heard good things about him.

    Not sure, you probably need a general mechanic for your friend, but he could maybe make a recommendation?
    Marlo's has been the featured shop in several Mustang and Ford's magazine suspension builds over the years.

    She should join Marlon's Ford club. Lots of guys in her area. I'm a 20 min drive from there, but it's not EZ if there is a car problem.

    Here is the club site: http://www.allmustangandfordclub.com/
