True Classic
Just want to give public recognition and profound thanks to a member here, Mike Mittelstead: a little while back there was a listing in FSW from a Wayne in the middle of Oregan who had several desirable items, many NOS, available for $1 each, the kicker being he didn't feel like shipping and so the items were pickup only. I was very interested in his NOS '74 nose sheet metal for my '74 re-creation (the difference being it has the slots for those blade style bumper mounts). Some might consider this overkill, but I'd already collected a very nice '74 rear end from Matt, so why not?
Anyway, Mike M. posted that he was planning a trip to Wayne's barn and I sent him a message, offering something like real money if he could pick up this sheet metal for me and ship it. Mike declined the offer of money, very generously offering to pick up the part and ship it for only a nominal charge for his time. Which is what he did, with the part arriving yesterday.
Have to say that Mike's generosity of nature seems typical of most everyone here on Xweb, something not seen so much on other car sites. Thanks again, Mike! - Kent Southard
