Hello Mopar Family!

Can someone please tell me which section here on the forums is best to find a mechanic for hire in my area? Looking for someone to work on my 1967 Plymouth Fury VIP. It's a four door hard top Commando 383 HP big block car with the original Carter AFB carburetor and factory dual exhaust. The car is in the Lehigh Valley region(Laurys Station) of Pennsylvania.. currently up on 4 jack stands in a garage space where the work will continue to be done. I purchased and drove her here from Ohio last August and she really moved down the highway! She starts and runs strong but carburetor keeps clogging up with orange sediment from fuel tank causing difficult starts, stall outs and rough idles. The sellers claimed they "boiled out the fuel tank" but the rust keeps coming even with fuel filters in place.. I've even rebuilt the carburetor.. so I stopped running/starting her to prevent damage.. hasn't been started since January 2016. She's in unbelievably beautiful shape--like a new car with only 14,000 original miles but needs a wide variety of things done due to non-use over the years; brake work, master cylinder bench bleed and install, all suspension bushings, fuel system, new fuel tank install, steering gear and steering pump installation, new gaskets, compression test, all lines bled, all fluids flushed etc. I have already spent months locating and purchasing all parts new and NOS, as well as doing pro rebuilds on the master cylinder, steer gear and pump, and brake booster. All parts are on site. I really need a very good reliable, experienced mechanic with all the necessary tools who might actually enjoy getting paid while working on this gorgeous, 100% original c-body! Someone who will diligently put in the work with care. I am learning about this car as I go, and cars in general.. so I will be there as "manager" and trusty assistant for all the work. I've got the official Plymouth shop manual for 1967 when we need it for all torque specs, factory settings, etc. I will pay a fair price and also be there to help. Extremely clean car. I would like to get this done in one to two weeks at most. Planning to begin working 8 hour days starting next week on Friday, September 9th 5-6 days straight.

I am so grateful to all founders and members of this forum. It is such a fun, invaluable resource and community for us all. I'm looking forward to finding a fellow Mopar enthusiast to work with me. The craigslist option is far too daunting to weed through for something so important to me.

Should I post this in C-bodies or general technical? IDK, I'm fairly new to the forums so any advice is greatly appreciated. I just don't want to get ejected for redundant posting in too many specialty sections ;-)

Thank you!

I would look into local car clubs and ask around. The local speed shop or parts supplier may know of someone. Go in person, over the phone I wouldn't do.
