After a 5 hour drive to my work destination, I took another hour detour to meetup with Mike Groah and his father, Vic. They have an enviable building partnership,with real respect for each other's abilities, and a great workshop to houseall their projects. Vic is a noted antique car restorer, with a show roomto prove it!Obviously, their workmanship is extraordinary, incorporating some of Vic's uniqueskills. Of special note, to Corvair users, was a simple, rear mounted alternator!Most will recall Mike's recent post of his cowling progress.Sorry, I left my laptop home this trip, so will have to post pics later this week.I'm hoping they don't notice the missing 3' bending brake...it was a challengegetting it under my coat....Gary Boothe Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry________________________________________________________________________________

Gary=2C It truly was our pleasure to have you come to our our of the way place. Tulare is not exactly a destination for most although hwy 99 runs through the middle of town. We are so pleased to have any Piet folks come by. for those who have not met Gary He is a true gentleman and seems to be most talented. What one of us would tackle making our own prop? He gave us an idea or two without pointing out the horrors of unskilled labor evident in our build. If you are ever in our area again Gary=2C please come stop in.VicFo> Subject: Pietenpol-List: It was Markle-esk!> To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com
