    Elyria is about 30miles west of Cleveland. If you look on the map its almost dead center of the state and about 8-10miles off the lake shore.

    I asked my dad and he doesn't remember a George Shaeffer. However he did go to high school with a kid who's last name was Shaeffer, they would've been about 16 in '63. He said he remembers around that time this kids dad or uncle was putting together a 33 or 34 Ford Coupe. He said he'll ask a couple of his friends that were a little older than him to see if they remember a George Shaeffer.

    If you don't mind me asking, what do the parts fit?
