Default Turning Wrenches in North Alabama

It may still be a couple months before I get my Crossfire but once I do I will DEFINITELY be taking care of a few mods fairly quickly...

On my other cars (300C SRT8 and Magnum R/T AWD) I had little luck finding very many local owners who even knew how to change their oil, I did find one in particular who (6 years later) I would consider to be my best friend.

I was pleasantly suprised to see that I might have a handful of Crossfires near me and it does appear that most actually know what a screwdriver is and how its used. So the question is, when I get the Crossfire and begin to spend my sons College money on random go fast goodies, would any of you be willing to give me a hand?

Just for clarification, when I say give me a hand, essentially we will sit around in the shop, drink beer, tell war stories, do some bench racing and likely make fun of each other. Sure we will get some work done too but I am not looking for someone to come over and work on my car for me, I am looking to see if I might make a few more friends who are able to get together for the occasional turn of a wrench.

I do have access to a nice workshop, full air tools set up, and just about every hand tool you can think of from electrical tools, rotary tools, ratchet wrenches (offset and straight) AN Fitting wrenches, multiple socket sets, access to a welder and more. Really, about the only thing it is missing is a lift and that might be there by next summer.

So I will throw this out there that even before I get the Crossfire, if any of you need a place to work on yours, let me know, I will get you directions, fill the fridge with some adult beverages, fire up the air compressor and see you there!

It might help if you put in your profile or post in here where your location is. If you were near me, I would be there in a heartbeat.

GOOD POINT! My bad! I guess "North Alabama" in the subject was a bit vague!

I am about 10 miles south of Huntsville Alabama on HWY 231.

I lived a bit south of you when I was in the Army stationed in Anniston. Good luck with getting some people together to turn wrenches with. I wish I had an opportunity like that presented to me in my area. I love working on my car, but it is always more enjoyable to have others to share the experience with.

I am in HSV and would be available to drink your beer whenever you need. I even know which end of the screwdriver is used. Welcome to the fold.
