Not that either lol. I went to send him a message, and it rejected it saying that he’s met his quota of unread messages; and can’t receive anymore. I’m new here, so I really appreciate all the help. Hopefully he’ll see this thread at some point. If anyone knows anyone else that does reliable work on panheads, on the East Coast, that would be greatly appreciated as well. I’m in PA.

Another way to get his attention is put an @ before his name in a post, it will notify him: @johnjzjz see above

Any advice is appreciated.

Just message him and make the trip to go see John and the shop in person, 50+ years playing this game never seen another like him, the shop alone is worth the effort. This isn't fanboy BS.

Interesting this thread is active, Scooter and I did a road trip yesterday to pick up a 46 knucklehead basement find. Been working on it for a year.




He picked up a 47 Chief that went to Dennis Collins then Richard Rawlings in the Sturgis Gas Monkey bar and grille.
