Helping a friend

[Ian]

Last weekend, I drove over to Palmdale (north east of Los Angeles) to help out Keith who is doing a ground-up restoration of a 6 cylinder Dormobile. He trailered his chassis down from Santa Cruz (about 400 miles) to install his newly rebuilt engine and transmission. He has been working on this truck for 10 years.

We all concentrate. Hard.

He deserves a medal. It looks gorgeous!

I think I have picked up bits about this on the DOrmobile group.
Is he going to ever finish it in his lifetime?

There does seem a bit to do . especially if it has taken 10 years to get to a rolling chassis


Will it become an Ebay project sold for a few dollers...........

Keith is a determined man. And a really nice guy. He's already planning his first trip - to Alaska. I suggested he might want to start out with something a little less ambitious. Like to the end of his driveway for the night as its a great way to figure out how things work and exactly how to work the accommodations. I went to the Old Mojave Road on my first trip and learned the hard way what works and what doesn't. Easier to do it when you aren't freezing your buns off.

That's amazing Some people have so much patience (and money )

A friend of mine has been building a "Works Replica Austin Healey" and he's been working on it for eleven years. The quality of the work is unbelievable, he also has three other examples.
