Can't say as I do. Name doesn't ring a bell with me. I was into rodding
more than restoring. I left the others to be fussy about nit picking
restorations. Only jeep restorer I know was a fellow in a small
Tasmanian town. He had a very nice one but, like so many of the people I
knew from the old days, he passed away years back. Same chap had an MG
as well. I recall how he was hunting a matching front wing as his had
two different headlight cowlings from different models, one horizontal,
the other with a droop. Used to irritate him no end. This was before the
days of eBay and easy communications. He'd be rapt now at the ease of
finding bits anywhere in the world through the internet.
perfectionist at restoring World War Two Jeeps and such vehicles.

When I was into rodding, I was the younger one in my circle of friends.
Sadly, most of the old crew are gone now. Robert, who died last Sunday,
being one of the last. He was an unconventional character and his
restorations were unconventional to say the least. The nit pickers would
have a field day. Saw a couple of the remaining old timers at his
funeral, the years have weighed heavily on them. Suppose they might have
been saying the same thing about me! ;-)
One of them still gets about on his old Harley, nice machine!
