Wow, what a great story! It's awesome to see you kept it and fixed it later as well as kept it all these years. I figured the wood and body would be trashed after a bad fire. It sure looks fine though. That is a pretty cool time capsule IMO. Good luck keeping on it!Ryan

The wood was toast except for the wood around the back window. I made new wood and metal bows for it. The body was pretty hammered and warped as well. it took a lot of hammer dolly work and shrinking to bring it back in. It's really close now so as long as it doesn't get hot again it should be just fine. When it caught on fire the fireman pried the hood off with a shovel as well as the gas tank filler. Filled it and everything else with corrosive foam. It was a Big Time mess too fix. Thanks guys and call me out once in a while to keep me honest and moving on this thing.Bob, Bob, & Bob

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
