Thanks for sharing, Will. Really interesting.

Maybe a dumb question, but what is the status of the manuscript- has it been or will be published?

Will, I was just down in Gastonia today to buy some wheels off a guy. Turns out he's into Model As and said he used to hang with you years ago when you visited his Model A group in Gastonia. Butch Bynam is his name. He said you had an impressive pool of car knowledge back then and knew more than anyone else in the group.

Will has won enough "serious" Rattle A awards to go on in detail about the color of bolt heads, washer thicknesses, and esoteric markings that make or break an accurate restoration - on top of getting the overall build just right.
I came away with a whole new appreciation of Rattle A stuff after going over his panel truck resto and his showing it a few times.
NIT PICK X 1000 is no way close enough.
Will is one serious builder, and my hat is off to him and his serial serious accomplishments on the track.
Yeehaw!!
Happy Christmas!!
