I need someone to come to Schomberg and help wire my 47 Merc 2 ton basically from scratch. It's a pretty simple vehicle. No computers to worry about. But I'm not knowlegable on relays and wire guages etc. Any takers? I would pay you with money, beer, parts, home furnishings ( I have a store) etc.

My hot rod mechanic fell down a set of stairs and is real banged up. We had just ordered a Holley 875 to put on my car. Now I have nobody to do the job. Anyone out there who is qualified to do this job? Is this something pretty much any mechanic could do?
