I have heard great things and they
are friendly if not on the high end of pricing...

Subject: IML: JC Auto Restoration -
Lynnwood WA
I need a new heater control valve for my '60 Crown SH.
Before I make the purchase, could someone please tell me
if JC Auto Restoration of Lynnwood WA is reliable?
No offense to anybody, especially JC, but I would rather know
before hand.
Thank you.

When
you get into Imperials and, maybe by accident, in small increments,
become very committed to them, I guess many of us do not think about
graceful exit strategies. There was one guy on here, a real sticker for
accuracy who really went off the deep end and ended up killing himself.
He had attended several shows and folks on the IML had met him. I'm sure
he had any amount of serious issues in his life other than the Imperial
but, evidently, the car did not provide enough relief. Over the years,
evidently, I have seen many people come to the end of their Imperial
trip. There are certainly easier points of entry into the old car game
but none, I suspect, that are more ultimately satisfying.
Many of
us here, and I count myself among them, consider driving our Imperials
as a truly effective form of therapy. There a;ways comes a point when
proceeding with the cars becomes less enjoyable than it once was. The
old car game is best played by the young and unmarried and the retired
but still very active. Middle aged folks like me, with college looming
for our kids, etc, etc, etc, just can't devote the time, money and
energy to these bottomless pits of wants and needs the way we might like
to.
However, I came away from my 58 today feeling pretty good. The
rust of the floor of the car does not seem to be structural. The
steering wheel is still two-thirds intact. I think I can fudge a band
aid repair over the remaining top third while I try to resolve many
other issues. I don't think my time on this ride is over yet. I hate
being further behind than when I started, that's for sure, but I think I
can, with some effort, get the car to where I want it to be. Then I'll
allow myself to think about retiring!
