Robert,
Has anyone spoken to John Grimmy lately? I sent him an e-mail a couple of months ago looking for updates and have heard nothing.

Joe,
I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I have to buy a good air compressor first and I haven't had the time lately to even go pick one up. I will be able to devote all of my time to Bertha after the 10th of May. I will work on more stripping of the car tomorrow though. Eldon

Eldon, I had emailed him about a month and half ago, and got no response also. ???

Last email he returned to me was a few months ago. He was busy tring to catch up after the loss in the family late last year. He had updated the site once and said he had more mail than he could answer. Some were mad some were happy a few were apreciative. He under took more than anyone I know would do for little or no rewards . I hope he doesn't quit or wear out it's been a great education for a lot of people probably saving more cars lives in the process.

HA! You double poster! I hope all is well for him. He has done a fantastic job of documenting the metal work on the car. His last update was on my birthday last year (talk about a good b-day present for me!) I am really looking forward to more updates.

Why would people be mad at him?? I guess people get the idea that they are owed the updates. I am just grateful for what he does.
