I had similar dealings with Frank, I met him a few years ago when I went on
the list in need of an intake manifold for my 1275. Frank directed me to his
home and I took a drive on a Sunday morning. He gave me a manifold which he
has bead blasted, and he would not take a dime. He told me to pay it forward
and I have done that. Frank gave me the benifit of his knowledge for most of
the afternoon and could not be more helpful. He gave me his phone number and
instructions to call if I needed anything at all. THAT WAS FRANK. I have been
in Street Rodding and old cars all of my life and have never met a more
unselfish person. Godspeed Frank. I will miss you.
