He mentions a local builder or manufacturer who helped clear the parts into Canada. I suppose it might be interesting to know how the local builder helped, but maybe that is irrelevant other than it got the frame and body into Canada as parts with some sort of paperwork to prove his ownership of the parts.

It seems that he is just interested in knowing who made frame and body for his own interest and not as some requirement for registering the car.

Hey Ken,

Since I can't see the original post, and nobody quoted it before it disappeared, I can't confirm that. I can only go with what I can see (Larry's pictures appear to have been taken down from his hosting source, that or we exceeded their bandwidth with the host) and read. OP came in, asked for assistance, you and I gave it, along with our opinions, and he came back and felt they were a personal attack on him, which of course, you and I know, was incorrect. Just look at his response to what you wrote in post #54, and again after I posted (#72) calling the car a Kimmons and adding my concerns for the seller, but not calling him out on anything, but he will continue to take everything personally, when he should take a step back and reread everything with a clearer head. Having hands on experience with working on the body/chassis/repair and such you notice certain aspects, things I saw point to Kimmins, I'll stand by that unless proven beyond a shadow of a doubt differently. I'm just here to assist where I can, while others want to fall back to the old, worn out adage of "you don't own XXX, so you don't know anything about them", you and I know that ownership is not required, but the enthusiasm is. I've got no dog in this hunt, and apologize to the others who believe that I do/did.

I'm off to get coffee (you can never have too much coffee).


Bill S.
