bare beyond body car entire floor helped inches john kept lower model repair replace restore stripped three
John had kept the car garaged most of the time, but as with most Model A's, the floor pans and lower three inches of the body were rusted beyond repair and had to be replaced. My brother, Mike, helped me to restore the car as well. He stripped the entire car to bare metal, and then I welded in 13 different body panels to replace the rotted areas. Being 75 years old, the car had many dings and dents that had to be straightened.

Tim told me that the car had to be done by July 2 for John's class reunion. That gave me 47 calendar days to restore the car from bare frame to a completed car. Let me tell you, there were days that I didn't think it was going to happen.
car days drove finished john july late night smile worked worth
There were many days that I worked late into the night to get that car finished in time, ... but at 5 p.m. on July 1, the car was started, tuned, and John drove it home. We had worked over 480 man-hours, but it was all worth it to see the smile on John's face. To work on a car like this is a dream.

bad doors drop hear imagine jaw kids locked people school shame
You can't come in and out of the school, with the locked doors and security, and not be affected. It's a shame these people had to go through that. It makes your jaw drop to hear the story. I can't imagine what these people went through and you kind of look at all the kids and you feel bad for what happened.

The other day, I brought up (video of) Silva this year and Silva last year. And he's night and day with his delivery.

If they go all the way to the finals, he might be stretched out to two innings while we are trying to stretch him to six, seven innings. That's the biggest concern.

I don't know who was out there for the first two innings. He wasn't fun to watch. Then he started throwing his fastball, and he got back to being Jo.

Nice rooms, but there's not enough seats inside them. You can only have two people at a time.

I think he's going to remember his first major league outing. Not just the thrill of being here, but probably the longest home run he's given up in his life.
