I think the operative word here was "HAD". That was 20 years ago when I thought I was gonna live forever.

Bill/Dave.....Irv is the guys name. He's in Vestaburg Mich. He has about 1500 vehicles. You have to go and if he's in the mood he lets you in. His kid says he's crushing it all when dad is gone. Hilliards is the name. Bring some lunch and he might let you in. We always take vegies or??? and he says go for it. He is on oxygen so he isn't so great. He'll tell you a price and tell him what you'll pay and he usually agrees and lets you go get it with him or his kid watching.
LMK when you go I'll go along for the entertainment value.
My panel is a 54 ...sorry. 54michrick
My other buddy I'll ask if he wants buyers for his stuff. He saved a big whack of stuff and has just been sitting on it since repop fenders and doors came out. Heres one pic of a collection.

Mich Rick--you are ok in my book. I will give it a shot ,and see how it goes with your buddy. Thanks alot!! Bill

Well, Maybe kinda cool, in an old crudmudgeon kinda way.
I too have some Doctor crap. Between wrenching my back at HGR and then the loading and drive back from your place, I have already made one visit and I need to go back tomorrow. If I had any idea I was gonna live this long I would have taken better care of myself. Who knew???
Later Guys...
