Clutch replacement time -
 

Well the time has come to repair the clutch assembly and while we are at it replace the clutch. Trouble is my declining health and the reality of not being able to do this repair is very real. I truly miss driving our ‘30 Deluxe Coupe!
So I’m in quite a pickle and I am asking for input on a reliable shop or interested fellow Model A hobbyist that can take this job on for real $$$$. Since I have always done my own work, I have no idea what it would cost - I am very aware of the work involved.
Yes I am a club member, seems like a source as I have helped many others in the past but the average member age is now north of 80 perhaps…..
So what to do?
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
FYI the family Ford and yours truly live in Northern California.

Northern California is a big area, maybe narrow that down some.

Yes - indeed makes sense. I’ve never asked for any assistance so I don’t reach out much. Bay Area resident.
Thank you - ✔️🇺🇸

Please send me a private message (PM) and I will give you the name of someone who might be willing to do the job. He is in Santa Clara.
