“Popularity of barn finds growing...”
When was a barn find anything but extremely popular?

That is seriously awesome. I wonder how one goes about replacing some of those bits affected by tinworm though... you can’t just go down to your local parts place and get F-car anything, and they probably don’t even have them through the factory. All custom fabrication?

Great problems to have. That car is something I could easily fall in love with even with its issues.

That young guy presenting the car did a great job.

He has clearly been missed by the "old car guys" trying to ruin his interest in cars.

We visited a restoration shop in Gainesville, TX that can make that car look better than new. He can make every single part.

While we were there one of his clients had a real Ferrari Berlinetta Boxer (512 BB) factory race car. It was of course worth a fortune so he had the shop make him a replica that he could use on track and keep the original as a museum piece. It was a 100% perfect copy except the title said Replica.
