  I'm still looking for a crankshaft for my '79 1500. Since I am not 
having much luck in the used market, I am considering having mine 
resurfaced. I still have standard sized bearings with litlle wear in the 
races (the car has about 70,000 miles), but the face adjacent to the rear 
thrust washer has a significant groove worn in it.

  I am not sure what qualifications a machine shop should have to build 
this surface up and renew it to the correct specifications, so I don't 
know how to interview them. I also don't know what the original specs 
are, so I don't really trust any old "Bubba" here in rural MS. to "go to 
workin' on it". 

Any advice would be appreciated.
