When my friend Al and I were up at Cedar Park working on our cars a few weeks ago, he was interviewed for a video. When I first joined the Gulf Coast Chapter of the NRHS about 30 years ago, I was immediately pulled into this project and have been putting in many hours ever since. On the day this video was recorded, I was working on the diesel generator under this car and was really grubby so did not make the casting call.
If the media is interviewing someone from a restoration project - they NEVER should interview the clean person, that is prima facia evidence that they aren't the one doing the actual work.
I just saw where I did make a cameo appearance in the video. Well at least my legs did. About 3 seconds into the video I walk by on the other side of the car. I usually wear white painters pants (rugged, inexpensive and cool in the Texas heat) and because I was working under the car crawling around in the ballast I had my Velcro knee pads on. They look kind of wonky. The detached muffler for the diesel is hanging right behind my left leg.
The feds bad ordered the car due to a worn out wheel set. So we have to jack up the car to get the truck rolled out and replace the wheel set.
