Talking Shout out to Steve Blancard ndnchf

What a great service from Steve. I ordered a generator about 11:30 AM and it was at the post office before 2 PM.

I’ll add a second to your comment……I’ve done business with Steve a couple of times and it’s been a pleasure both times……..Mark

It's pretty obvious from his posts that he loves what he does. Combine that with the fact that he's also really good at it reminds me of this old Ford hobby 30 years ago! We still have some of the great ones among us, but we lose a few as the years go by.

Thank you all for the kind words. Some of you may know that I'm retired and restore generators on the side. Been doing it about 35 years as a hobby. I don't do it to pay the bills, so I can take more time on each one than a comercial shop could. I try to make them as good, reliable and visually correct as possible. And yes, I run my generators on my own cars. A '31 model A pickup and '35 Fordor.

Don't forget about the cutouts that he also works on.

I have one and it is the best.
