Default Walt Dupont

The other day there was a post about a car collection in Maine and Gardiner, ME
was mentioned. I posted "Gardiner, Me" that is where Walt Dupont lives and asked if anyone knew how he was doing? One fellow posted that he heard that Walt was not doing too well which is sad. Walt was one of the most respected and helpful flathead guy on the barn. Many of us knew and visited him in his shop. Loved his Maine dry humor.
So I hope he is still watching so I can thank him for all he helped me and others.
Thanks Walt
John

Yes!, I am just an old internet guy here I guess and just getting older, but have been around a few circles. Walt, a very respected engine builder.

I've never met Walt "in person" but have watched several of his videos. Very knowledgeable on old Fords.

Just installed the engine he rebuilt in my 39 pickup. He documented this build a few years ago on this forum. We enjoyed our visit with Walt.
