Hey guys a big thumbs up for the 38 Chev build and keeping it it orig. I just left Joanne and saw the poster and pics you sent her. She's glad the car ended up being done that way. Brought back a lot of memories for her. I was saddened to hear the story of the guy we origionally sold it to but glad it made it into your hands, and for what you did to it. Just so you know some s*** bags tried to clean out her garage and take everything for 1500 bucks which would have a travesty. Just glad that the HAMB came to the rescue and saved a piece of history........... Anyway once again thanks for taking the time and effort to make a really neat older lady happy.....thumbs up to you guys......
Hey Carl! Thank you! Yes she is a very nice lady & believe me very glad to own such a great car with old school history! Heres current pics & Thank you again! Bill Fowler / Solo Speed Shop

Yep what is even greater is that it was sold to Larry over the HAMB. He came all the way out to Ariz to pick it up and all the pieces that went with it man what a stash. Larry was an up front guy who knew what he was getting and really helped out Joanne after the loss of her husband thats why I really appricate what you guys have done to bring the car back it deserves it and she is thrilled. Also a big thumbs up for sending her the poster that you guys used for the show it is proudly displayed in her living room, and you should see her smile when looking at it!...........way too kool..........thanks again........
Thanks Bill for tracking her down again and getting the pics to her. If I had of been able to keep the car, I was going to surprise her at her front door with one more drive in it. When I originally bought it and picked it up she said that she would fly to PA to see it again, but I had a feeling that would be too much for her. That just shows how much that car ment to her and the memories that she still has. You just put the icing on the cake Bill, job well done. Larry Srigley (RUFTOY)
