Walt Duponts shop
 

So this heart surgeon who is into old Fords stopped by Walt's shop the other day to see how his engine was coming. Walt said "Doc, you and I have a lot in common. We work on old things. I open them up, take the old faulty valves out and replace them with new ones. But, I barely make enough to buy gas for Rocky's lawn mower and you make $1000/hr. Something is not right"
So the Doc says "Walt, did you ever try doing it with the engine running?"

Sorry for all this foolishness but I am a happy boy. My wife had surgery 2 months ago for lung cancer. Now, after further testing the Docs told us she is cancer free!! No chemo or radiation. Come back and see us in 6 months:rolleyes:.

O K Folks,
You heard it: Walt's "Fall Special" is $2/hr and it is in writing. So, strap those old flatheads on a pallet and ship to Maine while the "special" is still on! LOL:D
John

Ah, but the $2 an hour begins when Walt tries to figure out how he's going to get the straps off the pallet! :D

So very happy for you and your wife John. Much better outcome than my wife who passed on in 1998 with the same issue. Most folks with that dreaded sickness are not so lucky. Glad she escaped the bullet.
