That's a great book. I've had it for a number of years and look at it continually.

I hope you might allow a relatively new kid into old Ford V-8 enjoy your new book, So long as I clean my hands really well... Now normally dark with oil stains and badly cracked finger tips, nicks and dings that bleed in the cold, the normal hands of a old motor nut starting a new project.... looking forward to seeing you and your shop.

Don Montgomery, "Rockerhead" posts occasionally on the H.A.M.B. If you ever make it to the L.A. Roadster Show he usually has a booth set up with some of his books. Prince of a guy.

Walt,
Nice gift for a nice guy. When you retire you should think about writing a book on your automotive adventures. Would be a best seller. John |

Re: Christmas present Walt- Dupont
The ONLY reason Walt should retire would be to take time to write HIS book!

Re: Christmas present Walt- Dupont
I buy Don's books direct from him (he has quite a few). He always likes to ask what a person is up to and how their projects are coming. He is a first rate guy and always a pleasure to converse with.

Re: Christmas present Walt- Dupont
It's so hard to find a gift for those of us that have so much "stuff". Takes a caring person who can come up with such a thoughtful gift. Enjoy the book Walt.
