Looking for a local repair shop in South Florida

Does anyone know a repair shop in the south Florida area that knows how no work on the old flatheads? Having a problem with my engine I just can't get figured out.

There are a bunch of knowledgeable flathead Ford car and truck owners in south FL, but I doubt your problems are specific to a flathead. Systematically going thru the truck's fuel, ignition, electrical, and mechanical systems, assuming nothing about condition, will get it running. It's rare to pour gas and oil into a 60-yr-old vehicle and have it run like a top. I doubt you'd want to pay anyone what it would cost to do all the basic checks needed, doing it yourself is an educational experience you won't regret!

Call Keiths Rod and Customs, he can do it all, is very honest, stands behind all is work the old school way (no warranty needed) and has done most of the work on my truck (in my gallery).

Tell him Bryan sent you. My truck (Big Blue) is actully there right now.
