That's Lowell Kimble's place. He's one hell of a nice guy, sharp as a tack, the first flashlight buyer in any swapmeet he goes to, and has a nose for Ford parts like a drug sniffing dog. He'll sell to you, but enjoys buyng and collecting more than selling. I haven't seen him for maybe 15 years, but I bet he'd match my name to my voice if I called him on the phone!
If you're passing through Nebraska, give him a call and stop by to see him and his treasures, he'll be happy to meet you. Lowell is not that much younger than me, so I hope he's still in good health.
Lowell Kimble, 810 Prospect Ave, Norfolk, NE 68701; 402-6491116 or 402-379-1354.

Wow. That's a lot of stuff. I was just commenting to myself that I need to down size a bit. I don't feel so bad now. Haha.

the man has great talent. but he is like a lot of guys they start a project .then move on to an other one .result nothing gets finished. if you start a build you should finish it before moving to the next. if not you wind up with a building full of unfinished projects.

I'm impressed that they are there and depressed by the condition of the very early cars used as storage for random junk at the beginning of the video.
