Hotrodders/streetrodders ARE mostly good and generous people. I have given away parts, helped fabricate, done minor welding, and even loaned my entire garage to a broke-down rodder for two days once; all for free. Those little acts of kindness have come back to me many times over.

I can't speak for Don, but he encouraged me to do the thread on my roadster and I have been enjoying it. It keeps me motivated and I enjoy imparting the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years. It's a little bit of an ego thing, too. I have never built a car with a full-time audience.

Now, about those recipes and who killed JFK; Chocolate Eclair cake is a particular favorite of mine... My dad always believed that Lyndon Johnson was somehow involved...
