Phew, another task done. I think I found the right guy to mill out my piece. He is a retired tool maker from Tinker AFB. He grasped right away what I needed and should I should have it in about a week. He of course noticed the El Camino when I pulled up. After talking about the part he invited me into a different garage building. He is working on his now toy, a 1954 Ford Pickup. It has all Mustang suspension, with airbags, and a Mustang V8. The bed is off right now and he is almost ready to finish the mechanical and then paint it.
Next he invited me into his house to get a business card for him. His wife was inside and asked if I wanted tea, and wanted me to chat. We went back outside and chatted for 20 minutes. Just a good ol boy. Then I went to see a buddy that happens to live within a mile of where I was. I had called him earlier in the day to tell him I might swing by. We chatted for an hour and I headed home.
