Anyone near Houston or Bacliff

Hugh,

We have several members in the Houston area. Perhaps one of them will
see this in the next few days and be able to swing by.

As far as the two shops you found, I can tell you I have used Nick's
Diesel Service for road service and was *very* satisfied with the work
and the price. We were at an NHRA event at Baytown and they had to
fight their way through heavy raceday traffic and didn't even charge a
trip charge as I recall. Then they had to travel about 45 minutes
each way to pick up parts. The mechanic I got was named Tom. Don't
know how you found them, but they're good guys in my log book.

Never heard of Felton's RV.

Good luck and hope the purchase works out for you.
