When I was still at work, we had a whole department of toolmakers. I could keep them busy building parts for me all day, from gun parts, to car parts and everything in between. Trade a trade!!

Same thing where I worked. One of the toolmakers was a car guy with a nice '55 BelAir hardtop. I used to get him to make up lots of stuff for me. He used to turn down the factory 727 heavy governor weights to remove weight for higher upshifts in my shift-kitted transmission rebuilds.

I worked with Clay years ago and watched him build his collection. People would laugh at him when he'd have some old women's old 63 fury sent to Missouri from California. I was in his office for that deal. He has or had, I haven't seen him in 25 years, a huge collection of everything known to God in the Mopar world. Forward thinking at it's best. Truly impressive.

Clay helped me many years ago, when I needed a convertible top front weatherseal retainer for my 1964 Polara 500. This is a convoluted metal piece that commonly rusts out. No one reproduced this piece, but Clay found a nice one for me. His son runs the business, now. Clay is a major mover in mid-west NSS drag racing. I met him years later and talked to him at Indy Swap Meet, a couple of times. Nice guy!

He raced 63, 64, and 65's back in the day when many walked away from them because they weren't cudas, road runners or chargers. Talk about a good old country boy. He was a trip to talk too and I've spent hours years ago shooting the breeze with him. I think I'm going down there to take a trip back and take a look around for a few parts.
