We have a friend , Ken. He owns a Willys truck. Ken goes to all the car shows with us. He is a great guy. All the guys help get his scooter out of his truck for him. Ken is on oxygen. At the end of the car show season last year we told him we would detail his motor compartment for he, since he can't do it himself. Ken stopped by 2 weeks ago and told us he has pancreatic cancer. And only a 30 % change of surviving the surgery. So , we decided to do a mini overhaulin . Ken thinks his truck is getting detailed. But we pulled his 305. And dropped a 355 with a 4.90 lift in it.  :   We made a lot of calls. And got volunteers.   :2thumbs:

The payoff will be seeing Ken's face when he fires it up. I'll post pics when he picks it up.  :2thumbs:
