While my post was tonuge-in-cheek, in all seriousness you should consider yourself one lucky fellow... for every shop like yours, or Larry's, or Dale's, or Ann's, there are probably a dozen that should not be allowed anywhere near a classic bike ("Lookee here, Joe, 'dis guy's got a bottom bracket that comes apart. What's all dem little round balls?"). And I don' even wanna discuss vintage bike packing for shipment...
