When I was restoring my 1923 Ford TT, i found countless people who would assist.

I was working at FIAT at the time, and we had a spanish fellow there and his english was almost nil. Many discusions on the floor of the workshop, drawing in chalk and the workmanship, Henry never saw it that good.

Turned out he had done his apprentise time at a Ford Garage and had forgotten nothing.

Very quickly learnt when going to jobbing places, that if the guy did not show lots of interest, not to leave the job there. Wanted the front axle straightened and every week for six months got a new excuse why it had not been done.

Also many times when I picked up the Job the guy who had shown interest would not take any money "Never had so much fun in years" was typical of what I would hear.

These are great times for us all, enjoy!

regards

Col
