    Bob lived in Gresham, Oregon for years. He left the two Ts and a shop full of car parts and tools. He was a machinist for many years. I have no interest in getting anything, but would hope everything went to a hotrodder. Someone must know! He died this time last year, inlaws didn't even attend the funeral......Beet
     
  4. talk to Joyce Johnson or maybe some of the old MHRC crew,sorry about Bob passin he was a nice guy I never heard about it down here in arizona I was in RCstreet rods over 20 years.......maybe try those guys

    Yeah! Joyce may know as Bud was into cars forever with his now hers, A-V8 roadster pickup "Cherry Bomb".

    Beet! I'd give Lonnie Gilbertson in Portland a call. Long time machinest and car guy. Won the Oakland Roadster Show twice. Lonnie and Candy probably knew your brother.

    Beet - I watch the local market pretty close, and haven't seen those cars. I may have missed them, but I DO watch it very close. They may have traded hands without advertising, but you would think they would surface somewhere. You may want to call Dale Matthews - Memory Lane Motors. I think his # is 232-1940. I know the last part is right, not sure of the prefix. They have a website as well. A lot of stuff filters to and through him, he is involved in the V8 club - and pretty much into the market in PDX. Pretty cool cat to talk to. To the point, but cool.
    I'll keep an eye out, and maybe they will surface. If so I will PM you. Maybe they still have them squirreled away someplace?? :)
