I build cars now and he was very sad I didn't take it off his hands and tow/ship it 1800 miles home with me when he retired it. At that moment I was not in a place to take it. When he passed I got all of his original brochures and display them proudly in my garage as an homage to him. It was a unique car in many ways.

    This was by FAR the most ambitious "will it run" video I've ever seen! Fantastic. Your outlook too when facing fatal problem after fatal problem is incredible. When you poured acetone all over it and lit it I knew I was in for a great video. Then you coaxed that starter, which was so dead its tombstone fell over, back to life?
    Keep up the hilariously great content my man. Bravo!
