    I totally agree! When I first pulled into his property, I didn't expect to find anything too cool. But once again, you can't judge a book by it's cover. It turns out he purchased or inherited his family property after his parent's passed. His dad owned a glove factory and a coat factory in Grinnell for years. My friend told me Bill doesn't have to worry. Anyway, the place was dated but all fancy and had pristine white plastic fence around the entire thing. 2 houses on it, a couple small buildings and 2 different 3 car attached garages. He had the hood in an old corn crib and he had some other old parts in there. 3 different model A frames, and some misc other stuff. Once he figured out I was not a fruit loop he invited me into hos garage. it was pretty cool.
