Driving to Detroit from Phx in my A, arriving this weekend, and wondering if anyone has a garage I might be able to use for an hour to do a lil maintenance before I head back to Phoenix Monday morn. Might change my shocks, could possibly need the use of a cutoff wheel, and would like to give it the once over twice. I hate to impose, but could make things easier. I'll be in Gross point area mostly, not sure where I'm staying Sunday. Thanks in advance! Daniel
Let's try to keep this near the top for an adventurous soul. Good luck and safe travels, Daniel. Hope someone can help a brother out.
If you can make it to Chicago I can help, I don't have a lift or anything but old school jack stands and a jack will do the job. Plus a long road trip like that requires a Chicago style hotdog with hot jardiniere
I've got a garage you're more than welcome to use. Nothing fancy, but I've got everything you'd need. PM me and we can work it out. I'm in the city about 6 miles north of downtown Detroit. Mike
If you can work in the driveway, you can stop by my place. I am about 45 minutes west of Detroit and just north of I-94. I have all the tools and such.
In Livonia, about 35 minutes west of Downtown. Again, nothing fancy, but should have anything you would need other than a welder.
Im in Royal Oak. My garage is a little tight but Id be more than happy to shuffle stuff around for ya. And we can shoot about how SW 4 doors make the best hotrods
Helping total strangers who simply have the same passion...........if that ain't spreading the gospel of traditional hot rods and customs to hoodlums world-wide I don't know what is.
Wow, thanks a lot guys!! Very nice of you all. Really appreciate the help. I have a thread on here- Phoenix to Detroit or, See the USA in a Model A- where I'm trying to post pics if your interested, although I'm not to great at keeping track......
I posted on your other thread. I'm south of Detroit at I-75 mile marker 30.2 if I can be of any help.
I'm in the holland mi area If you want to visit the dutch side of the state you are welcome to use my garage,hoist , whatever tools you may need Terry Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks again everyone! The rain has us a lil behind schedule, but should be in Detroit today. I'm not exactly sure how this is going to work out just yet, will know most likely Saturday where I'll be and will contact y'all ASAP. Much appreciated!
I'm not sure of anyone in the area that would have the 600w type oil that Mac's, etc, sell. If it's going in your banjo, 85W140 is a good oil to use.
Depends on your schedule, but stop on out at Baker's on Sunday afternoon. First meet of the year, so it should be a good one if the weather is nice. It's in Milford, North west of Detroit by about 45 minutes. 2-3 pm is when it starts to fill up.
Once again I'd like to say thanks to you all for offering to help out. I was able to take care of everything and give the car the maintenance it needed to make it home safe, but it was really nice to know there was a helping hand close by. Heading to Chicago tomorrow and prayin' for good weather on down to Phx.
Peace, thanks for sharing your trip. Keep posting on the return. Too bad your not sticking around cruise season just getting under way. Be safe.
I'm nowhere close to Detroit, but if your trip home takes you through Kansas City and you need something let me know. I'm on the west side, 5 miles south of I-70, 5 miles west of I-35.
