Default Roy Nacewicz

I feel it's necessary to give a "shout out" to those that serve our hobby well.
One in particular is Roy Nacewicz.
I am not certain what I would do without Roy's help on occasion.
Roy, if you are "listening" thank you...
Mike

How true, Kube! Roy is one of the very few in this game about whom I honestly cannot EVER remember hearing a bad word. DD

A terrific guy for sure. Fun to talk to, great knowledge and the good parts and pieces that we all need.
Anyone interesting in restoring these old Fords correctly must get to know Roy. There is much more to" Fordbolts" than just bolts for Fords. He is the only source for a lot of hardware and pieces that is made correctly and fits!
Roy is heavily involved in holding my 32 and 40 together.
My opinion

Roy is a friend on Facebook and he posted there about a great restaurant that he was having a steak dinner at that night. I asked him how close that was to Dearborn and the Henry Ford and he said that was a pretty good distance away, but gave me several other names of good restaurants in the Dearborn area. Then asked me to please stop in and see his operations in the Carlton area during my next visit to the Henry Ford. He also said he would take me to the best steak restaurant in that area. I will definitely be stopping in to see him on my next trip to that area. He is a great asset to our hobby for sure!!

All of the above were earned and then some.

I think that Roy would not be pleased if I posted the photos I have of the two of us dive bombing trash cans at Ford's 75th Anniversary party looking for discarded blue oval Ford script cake decorations.

Roy,

Exactly. Therein lies why I've not posted it. I mentioned it as a very roundabout way to show how long we've been friends.

No head swelling, please.

I could not agree more with all the above. Roy has a wealth of knowledge, and is ever so willing to help his customers, whether it's for 1 piece or several...Thanks Roy, for being a top notch supplier and advisor...

Thanks Roy and also David, for their knowledge and help. If not for them, my 32 would not be what it is today.
