Trying to get in touch with the builder of my car who moved to NorCal area. Bruce Yeaton who also called himself "VonDorq" lived in Salinas Ca. in the 90's. He built my BMW Isetta streetrod which was shown at the Oakland Roadster Show in 94. He has a book of photos of building the car he was going to loan me but was in the process of moving further North. After the move I never heard from him or was able to find him again. Rod Powell had occasional contact with him but I also lost contact with Rod as well. Does anyone know where Bruce is these days? I really would love to have copies of the build of my car for history purposes before all is totally lost forever. Thanks....John www.isettas.com
Do you know for a fact that he's dead or just saying it for the hell of it? Good luck on finding accurate info on your car.
i remember that car,does it still look the same,i got a picture of that car somewere i think it was sf
The word I have too is Bruce has p***ed. It was a few years ago. That is all I have. Lets let it rest. RodP
Bruce was a good friend of mine growing up. It really sadens me to hear this. How did this happen and when?
I have heard it from five or so people, including his brother, and even his brother only thru the g****vine, but its been 5 years since anyone has seen him, and three since I heard he died. A guy at Paso a few years back told me he meet him , he was restoring a train , and I think it was dessert comunity? I think he's gone. he was a wildman.
Thank you Cole & everyone else here who have tried to help on and off the list. Sorry to hear this. My search is over and hopes of obtaining the book of photos of the build ended. Another piece of history lost. Again, my sincere thanks, HAMBers are the best!
OK we dug deep , and looked under all the rocks , Bruce is alive and well , he called me , someone in his family found him and told him to call me. sorry for the false reports , happy ending.
I know this is an antique thread, I stumbled onto this. I had dealings with him last year, Mr Yeaton AKA Vondorq - I'd say not to have any dealings with him, I found him to be a shyster. COD only!
