Tom,
I've already heard from mo. Unfortunately, right now his Dad is having some hearing problems, so I'm going to send him some questions.
As I said, having the opportunity to speak with someone who was actually there and who took part in making these cars is a precious advantage to those of us who want to know how it was really done.
If I decided to restore a car, I'd rather know it was restored with historical accuracy rather than to an established judges' standard. Knowing it was right would be more important to me than a $10. trophy.
Thanks
Verne.
