I was on the hunt for a flathead v8.I got a name of a guy about an hour from me so i call him up he said come on down and see what i have. So this morning loaded up and went to see what he had and all i can say is wow.I know no pictures when i go back in three weeks im gona see if he will let me take some pics.I get to a ware house of his and when we walk in i see about 5 or 6 old cars and flathead parts every were i could not believe all of what i was seeing.I said sir you have some nice toys he kind of laughed and said thats not even half of it lets ride out to my house and ill show you some faltheads i have on some stands so i jumped at the envite.We go to his house go in his garage he has a sweet packard sitting in there i believe a 51 ford truck and a another ford im like wow.then he said lets go out to the shop im now thinking man im in a dream.i go out to the shop and there is flathead v8's everywhere some being ready to be rebuilt and some that he has built and ready to go by this time im in heaven.he had some project cars out there and some prestine model a's he totally does frame off's on all his cars his self from the engine work to the painting.I could tell he was very talented and knew what he was doing.But the most importing thing is he was one of the nicest people you could ever meet i enjoyed talking so much with him i didn't want to leave.So the good part is i get to go back in 3 weeks to a month to get the engine he is building for me and said if i needed him to he would deliver it to my house help me put it in and do any adjusting that needed to be done for no cost
