  1. Dennis,
    That is way cool. Nice that the memoriblia will stay with the car. Good luck with the restoration of a neat piece. Holler if you need any help....

    Just collecting all the parts I need for the restoration, I am trying to sell a couple cars now to not only "thin out the heard" but partly to finance the restoration on the "Blue Racer",...... but mostly to fix up the new shop (new to me, actually built in 1938).

    The new shop has been in the works for some time now (like 2 years), but we ran into a couple snags with the title work,... should be clear to finally close by sometime next month ( Lord willing),..... I don't want to jinx myself by going into to many details,... but when I close on it I will post some pictures,..... I think the HAMB brotherhood will approve.:D

    As interesting as cars are, cars + people are WAY more fun. A great story, and wasted if not shared. Thanks. And of course, he's gonna get a ride after it's done, right?
