    I wonder where all the hard to get parts went. The body and fenders looked good. He only used the stuff that you can find all over the place.

    Where will the new "roadster" be in 5, 10 or 85 years?

    I agree. A piece of 80+ year history is basically lost and it had survived for so long until someone with more money and less sense came along.
