Months Two,Three and Four-Mechanic

After taking a look around knew I was in deep trouble if I could not find some assistance. I am not a mechanical dummy but this was not a 1/2 ton pick up. First step was local garages. No one wanted to take on any thing, hoses, brakes, etc. Truck was too big and would take up too much space. Had no idea when they could get to it. Would charge daily fee to store. Did not do restoration work and if they did would charge more. Next step was to find someone who could come to me. Remember earlier I said that if you don't have a space big enough to close the doors on the truck find another hobby. No one is interested in working on trucks like this outdoors. After talking to several businesses that had their own in house mechanics found master mechanic who was interested in off duty work. I checked with his employer to make sure there would be no conflict of interest. Since he worked on their trucks and they didn't work on any one's truck for income there was no problem. We negotiated an hourly wage which I found to be reasonable. Every time he comes out I also pay for his travel. Often I schedule the work at least a week in advance whereby our schedules can match. At this point I had a mechanic, now what about parts.
