    I double dated with a friend from high school who had a ‘54 hardtop with three on the tree. Returning to the car with our dates it would not turn over. I pushed it all over the parking lot while he popped the clutch but it wouldn’t start. He finally walked to a phone booth and called his dad. The first thing his dad asked was “did you check the cable to the starter?” We looked at each other while he crawled under the front in and said “try it now.” Started right up!! Our dates were impressed….. with his dad!😂

    Nice work on the front-end repairs. Great to watch you and Karl 'working' on stuff. You look like you're having so much fun. The '54 is gonna be one great burnout machine for sure. Look forward to seeing what's next. Be safe and stay well.

    The 54 is such a sweeet ride , It looks good standing still , and looks great in motion . Karl is the kind of friend every man should have , he fits in so well with the surroundings and his laughter matches yours so perfectly . Thank you both and all the members in the shop for this update . Stuart in Ontario ..

    Glad you learned to like the Jaguar front suspension. I started working for Jag in 88 and retired from there about 5 years ago. That suspension was used in cars capable of 140mph and even more. It will be interesting to see if the shock mounts clear on on bump. I remember you working on that one in the little garage after the fire. I bet it feels spoilt in it's swanky new surroundings. All the best, Mart in England.
