On Experi-Metal and Brookville et al: Experi-Metal recently got ripped off for close to 2 million by Russian Cyber-Mobsters who pilfered the money in a matter of seconds from Experi-Metal's bank account. Experi-Metal is currently in a law suit with their bank over who's responsible for the funds. If Experi-Metal loses it will be out the 2 million and quite possibly out of business. I saw this in the WSJ and thought it couldn't be our little manufacturer but, on checking, it was.

I'm planning for my next car to be a Brookville bodied flathead roadster. It would truly be a shame to lose a business that has become so important and integral to our economically threatened hobby.

Finally, it's important to remember what ultimately got us into this mess. A very ignorant man once told me; "If you keep buying more than you're selling, pretty soon you're going to go broke." Even he could see it. We can't keep buying all our goods from overseas. Support U.S. businesses and "BUY AMERICAN!"
