Pierre Hedary( check the FL section for repair shops for his review)

he's in titusville but hes the only guy I trust.

I will be in Lakeland zip 33801. Thanks for the tip, I will look-up ,and introduce myself to Mr. Hedary. ETA 6 Nov,will give you a shout Don,~ Chilcutt~

Winter Haven & Bobodaclown ... are you a circus guy?

B

Roger that sir,~Chilcutt~

the guy that owns the place I think you are talking about lives behind Eagle-co94

I agree with Peter Hedary as a mechanic. He was the only mechanic who could straighten out the vacuum problems with my transmission, as well as went over my new purchase and replaced all sensors and hooked up all things to get things running the way they should. And he's very reasonable.

Does anyone know how to reach Peter these days? My car has been returned to Florida after a year in Minnesota.

I put a thread for his contact info in the FL shops area...

What car is yours? The while 280SL?

Have you guys ever seen that junkyard thats about 15 miles or so south of lake placid in the west side of US 27?

I sear that's the biggest one I have ever seen. It must be about 1 mile wide and about 3/4 mile deep.

Never had to stop in, but man there's a whole mess of cars in there.

which one is that, I've never hears of it. I do know of a fairly large classic car bone yard in kissimme(by the tourist trap, old town). But you cant go in and pull parts.
not much in there that interests me. Well, barely any w123's and when they come in they are total junk. Enough w126's but usually, same case

I s'pose I should have stuck a in there. J/k Joe.
