Boy some of you guys really are proficient at slandering one of our own. After going through the first ten pages I finally decided to skip the bull and get to the end- it's cleaner that way. As far as Randy Williams and Scott Teimans reputation being on the line-- I don't think so, their creations speak for themselves. Randy was a true Gentleman as is Scott and both have always been a encouragement to our hobby. As the very proud recipient of the first Randy Williams Memorial Award of Excellence given at Norwalk in 2005 I feel nauseated at how, for whatever reason we try to slay our own. Wouldn't it be a little more politacally correct to chop down a F--- or Ch--- restorer.
C'mon guys, they're just hunks of iron with a great memory behind them- We can only revive them the best we can - of course they'll never be EXACTLY as they left the line, At least craftsmen like Scott will tell you when he had to cut some corners, can you say that about many "restorers"?
One more thing-- Recently I have dug up another ORIGINAL 62 S.D. G.P., it's a mess and you wouldn't believe it's history!
