After popping the hood on my 74 Lincoln mark IV today, I must say, Jeff Hawkins is the man!
I'm giving you guys the green light on buying the classic car you secretly want, but are holding out due to the condition. This man will hook you up. He understands and specializes in classic car restoration.
Going over my receipt now, I see he gave me all the parts at his cost. He only charged for labor!!
After going over what we needed he gave me great advice on insurance companies special for classics and for the parts he wasn't working on (transmission). He told me about a place and explained why they were the best (but we will save that for a different review). He really wants to help you with your car. He doesn't try to outsmart you or condescend like the typical "I have something to prove" guy.
Don't waste your time taking your summer ride to a different place. This is your guy. Better price than places around the area and unbeatable service and knowledge.
I look forward to updating and documenting my experiences here while we work on my car. I can tell that this is going to be a fun and stress free summer. read more
