    Sorry… I cant find how to PM you on this new site. I am sure it is something easy to find, but I’ve been struggling with the new format.
    Anyways….. here is his response (I asked if it was ok to send his info to you :))

    “As far as your 1978 Pinto wagon friend passing through Juneau…by all means pass on any of my information to him!!…I always enjoy entertaining or guiding folks from the “Old Country” that may pass through Juneau! That would be a hoot for me to connect up with your Pinto friend!
    I’m assuming he is arriving and departing via ferry…Alaska Marine Highway…My boat is located in nearly downtown Juneau…that’s about 15 miles from the ferry terminal…
    I’m not the best cell phone owner but if your Pinto friend would leave a message I will certainly get back to him…often email is the best for me…”
    Thanks!

    have a good time and safe trip back!

    If you make it to Juneau Alaska, look up the name LaVerne Beier. He is originally from Tomah, WI, and now lives in Alaska.
    He has a 1936 Dodge Humpback panel truck at my shop right now. He uses it when he comes back to WI to visit.
    LaVerne is a Brown and Grizzly bear specialist. If you Google his name, one of the first articles starts out with
    “Survived a helicopter crash and 4 bear attacks” He is a very interesting guy. Never actually met him, but we are in contact quite a bit.
    Good luck on your journey!!

    This is Gene’s 35 Ford Coupe. It used to have a Chevy Motor, recently swapped to a Ford 302.
    We are going to reinstall the A/C compressor, condenser, build A/C lines, ETC… check it over for cruising season, and he’ll be all set!

    Picked up Marc’s 65 Ford Pick-up to get ready for the season of cruising.
    It’s been in storage for 10 years, just seen daylight for the first time Saturday.
    Normal maintenance and check over and she should be set to enjoy!

    Got the wheels and tires on Bob and Sandy’s truck this morning.
    Great stance and nice wheel and tire combo, Turned out very nice!
    Bob and Sandy have lots of plans for this truck, this will be a great build for them!
    BTW….. Bob was rattling off some of the old cars/trucks/vans he has had over the years, he quit counting at 100!

    This thing is crazy! This is Scott and his son Joe’s new Silverado Monster truck!
    You may remember Scott’s Pewter daily driven 1999 Silverado we just did some upgrades on, and
    Joe’s blue 1987 Square body Silverado that ran 44″ tires on. We’ll Scott and Joe sold Big Blue to buy Big Red!
    This is running 46″ Goodyear Military tires. Inside is equally as nice, but I cant get it in for any pictures, need a ladder, LOL
    We are just going to go through it and make sure everything works as it should, add a few accessories and fix up a
    couple things that need attention.

    Robert brought his 1994 Silverado over for a Bell Tech lowering kit. 3″ front and 4″ rear.
    Now this truck sits right!
    I’ll follow up with another picture after we get the new wheels and tires on it.
