OT-I need a well qualified mechanic!

I've got news for you, some heater cores and blower motors have been been a b!tch to change for 50 years. My memory fails me what year Chevrolet passenger cars it was but somewhere in the 60"s you either removed the fender well or cut a neat little door in it to change the heater core. Been a long, long time since the engineers gave a hoot about the mechanic.

Camaro's

How to design a vehicle:
1) start with a heater core
2) build a car around it

The dealership im at is always looking for help. Ive trained 2 apprentices that quit after 1 year on their own. The 3rd i just got done training and has only been on his own 3 months. I do everything but specialize in transmissions. We have had enough work for transmissions thats all ive been doing for last 7 years. Fine by me since i actually enjoy them. They have had adds out for another guy for last 5 years with no serious applicants. Us transmission guys are a dying bread i think.

Butch I think you are barking up the wrong tree.

I didn't know it's been that long ago, 1954 Chevy truck, was a lot easier.

53 Mercury. $ 27.50 @ an auction. Barely running, I was 14. Got it home . Dad told me, if it don't run, you figure out how to fix it. You can't fix it, you can walk, or use your bicycle.

Wasn’t there a Lincoln model where you had to unbolt and lift the engine to change the spark plugs? 70’s maybe Continental?

The factory V8 Monza was like that
