   Seems there is a abundance of work out there for OLDER Auto and Truck enthusiasts, the ability to find someone able to work Older Machines is devolving to a point people are randomly trying to cajole or buy a mechanic in any method possible.  Us Old Knowlege types are dying faster than coming in.
I had to leave Facebook/Meta because of that and political values.  Currently receive emails or texts a few times per month as been referred by someone that remembered me or knows me as to getting antiques worked on, I do not and stopped volunteering for that as went to work at the nuke nearly thirty years ago.

Been offered so many options and almost got sucked back in, do NOT need the headaches, whining or demands of people that want it done right but do not prefer to pay for that.  Last time I got the request the guy would not be deterred, finally told him my cost is $250/hour and the machine will NOT leave until paid for, I would hold a Signed Title until WAS paid for, called it Highway Robbery.  Explained he pays for Knowledge and skills, cannot do that is not worth my time.  Not contacted me since.

Is on many sites on the Net as to inability to find repair facilities or people to fix the older cars these people have or wish to have.  They have NO Skills at this and not enough finance to pay for someone else, the magic rock and hard place.
