A while back I sent him a cam & lifters to grind. He's been quick to respond to emails (overnight or a day, 2 at the most) but last contact was June 10th. Not super worried, I hope he's just busy and nothing worse. Jason
He is a member here but not active, but very well known in the banger community. Goes by 4 Port Riley
Just talked to a woman on the phone, seems Jim fell and broke his shoulder a while back. He's gonna be in rehab for a bit yet. Not great news, but much better than the alternative as he is 88.. I'll keep waiting patiently for the Caddy flathead cam to come back.
...What's his general area? Someone on here might be close by and willing to offer up some help if he needs it as I would imagine that his spouse might not be all that young as well. We're a community here and that's what we do as a community.
Received an e mail from stating he has heads in stock again I emailed him back but never heard back, it's been weeks now Is he okay ??
I did, last email I got from him was back in November when he shipped my lifters back. I'm sure he's still running around. I had luck calling his shop. Jason
A buddy told me he fell and fractured some ribs and was in the hospital. He's was supposed to be released a day or two ago. Not sure if he got released yet?
Wow he's had a rough year, last summer he fell and broke his shoulder. What's he doing, playing rugby at 80+ years old??
Unfortunately at that age your balance isn't as good and a fall can be life changing.Went thru it with my father.Get better Jim!
