Need a mechanic in fort worth 4 brakes

Greetings and salutations!

I have 91 Z28. I live in fort worth. Need a local mechanic who can rebuild front brakes, install my rear disc kit, and install an adjustable prop valve.

There is a good mechanic ive heard of in mid cities called "Second Opinion" but they are only open m-f. Cant get off work to bring it in. Lookin for a shop open saturdays.

Any recommendations?

Re: Need a mechanic in fort worth 4 brakes

Here are a couple pics from last summer.

Normally I wouldn't hesitate to install the brakes. But I've never messed with an adjustable prop valve. Not sure if lines need re-flaring. Thanks for the offer! Any experience with replacing prop valve?

Robbie would be a great person to help, but if you can't make it out there, try Hays Auto in south Ft worth. Keith is a friend of mine, and he does great work, and he's very honest.

Re: Need a mechanic in fort worth 4 brakes

I have installed a rear drum to disk rear end And added a 1le stock Valve From another car and it works fine . I haven't installed a aftermarket adjustable proportioning valve though ...

I have most of the kit to upgrade my 92 to the front ls1 brakes and I plan on adding 1le brakes to my 91 vert . I have the entire 1le brake set up for the 91 already ....
