Fires destroy 2 resin casters

[Dave Van]

Thanks for letting us know Joe V is OK.....he cast most of my Merkurs and all my 300ZX....he's a good guy.

These fires were pretty scary.  I was one block over from Topanga where the evacuations were made.  I was watching the flames and fire trucks from my living room window with my binoculars praying the wind wasn't going to turn towards us!

 

I thought of Gary Cerveny when this was happening.  I worked for Gary several years detailing his cars and working on his car collection at the house.  I remember he had a large fire truck on the property and I asked him if he was collecting fire trucks as well as cars.  He told me that it was in case there was ever a fire there because he had it full of water and also a pump to drain his pool to help fight what ever fire might be approaching.  I was told that Gary wasn't there that day the fires came through but it wouldn't of helped anyway as it was a raging monster that went right over everything.

 

Here's the '40 Barris car I rubbed and prepped for the Grand National Roadster Show.  Now Gone!

 

 

Here's a rare glimpse inside when I was working there one day.  That's the "NANOOK" Fuel altered on the far right.

 

 

As you can see I was prepping the "TIMBS" for a show..

 

Here we are at Pebble Beach with the car > 1948 "Norman Timbs Special".  I always enjoyed massaging this car and it was a pleasure to have been a part of it.
