HEY!

Way back before Speedstahs, and back before my Street Rod days and kids and marriage, there were Dune Buggies. Seriously quick and nimble dune buggies. The best that I had was a Deserter body, designed by Alex Dearborn in Marblehead, MA.

Anyway, Alex is in another club I joined and asked if I could find out if there are some competent VW/kit mechanics in the metro NYC area. His son has a Deserter and is moving to the area and is looking for a place to service it that he can trust. Apparently, the son is not as mechanically inclined as one might think.

Anyone down there have a good mechanic I can pass along??

"NYC metro" could be a huge area Gordon.

Can you be more specific?

Gordon, I am only 60 miles north of NYC. It isn't too far for me, but if he lives on Long Island, I'd rather not. Like Paul says, it is a big area.

OK, let me get a town or borough or something and re-post.

BROOKLYN!!

I found out that the guy lives in Brooklyn!

Who should he take his VW and Deserter buggy to for good service around there?

Thanks!
