OK will do.
A little update. When he came back north this April from Florida, he brought a new fat-man frame in his trailer and he was allset to begin this new project. Drive train was ordered locally and the car (whole) was sitting in his garage all stripped (from the previous fall) and ready for body work and a few mods. (Got rid of rumble seat in favour of a regular trunk) that kind of thing.
So... We had had a terrible winter, and the deck to his house had collapsed
due to the weight of snow. So... He went in the back way with luggage and such, forgot about the deck and stepped out his front door into empty space, and spent the next two months in a wheel chair with torn ligaments and other injuries.
Friends helped with a new deck, and when he was a bit recovered went at this project with a vengeance. He said all along he was driving this car to Florida this
fall. So he's actually a bit ahead of schedule. Went from wheel chair to walking cast, etc. Nothing was going to keep him from this project, and he took it all in with a smile and lots of good humour. So, good on him!
He's the guy sitting at the engine, the other guy is a builder also, he has the grabber orange 36 International pickup. (pic below)
