I have a 65 Monza convertible and a 61 Rampside pickup. A week ago today,
they were neatly and safely tucked away in the garage when, at 6:40 pm,
there was a weather phenomenon referred to as a "microburst." There was
nothing micro about it. At my house, we had 5 inches of rain in 20 minutes,
and the wind was unreal. My house flooded. My garage flooded. Both of my
vehicles took on water.
When it was done, the seats in the convertible are wet, the pans are holding
water. I can tell that water came up over the engine, because there is silt
on top of the motor of both vehicles, though the adjustor said that there is
no water in the oil or the transmission fluid. So he thinks no water made
it into the engines or transmissions. I see what he's saying, but the water
was up to the carbs on both vehicles. Surely the upper engine is
contaminated.
So, he's told me to have them both towed to a shop to start the remediation
process. I'm in Austin, Texas. What shop would you all use in the Central
Texas area that you would trust with such prized possessions?
