Let me give you some friendly advice--you will be better off,IMO, not having any work done by the shop you mentioned (MM) and let the new owner choose the rebuilder himself. Good quality long hoods are in demand and even though it may be a bit tired, can bring a decent price even if needing a rebuild. All rebuilds are not the same--quality trumps price every time. Anyone interested in your car, who is knowledgeable , will discount their offer if the drive train has been touched my MM.

Seriously, do a search on MM here and on Google and you will understand the reaction of people to the mention of their name, regardless of what you read on their website. No one was making fun of your spelling. They were pointing out a potential problem with your proposed plan.
