Hey Jim,
Wonder if anyone has and can show a Denver, Co cover ?
I understand that this head maker had terrible results with getting any good Foundry castings and that not many made it to use even with welding up defects, etc.
I hear that HE died as a pauper and that no one even knew of his death. And , that by sheer happenstance, a guy who owns/operated Model A parts business, came upon yard sale and 'rescued' head stuff (tooling/parts ?).
Sad story , indeed, if true.
