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

Howdy Walter,
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.

Don has been posting on the "Lakes pictures - PRC" thread on the hamb. It's a very interesting thread.

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 :
These are two words that should never be on the page let alone in the same paragraph. >>>> LOL

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
 

Wonderful gift from your son, but... it's a little early for Christmas, somebody was bad breaking into the presents early :)

The Elfs are also making a list of who is naughty. Sometimes there invisible.

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
 

Thanks for posting that Mart. Just read the whole thread. Good memories there.
Your son did good Walt. Excellent book.

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.

Walt is always willing to help, when help is needed.

Re: Christmas present Walt- Dupont

Don't seem like it 2010 when I sent that post, and I was almost 5 yr's younger. Thanks for the replys. Merry Christmas everyone. Walt
