Would I help a fellow car owner/car nut, definelty yes goes without saying, just ask and you will receive, doesn't have to be a Cobra or even a cool car, could be a junker, if someone needs help and I can help, all they have to do is ask........
Lets see, helped a guy (competitor) change his slipping clutch at the track one time only for him to beat me in the race, gave a guy whom I never saw before and probably never will see again and have no idea what's his name, a thermostat and gasket and sealant to replace his stuck one on his 65 GT-350 at SAAC in Virginia,gave another guy some radiator hose clamps at the same time and have done so numerous times thru the years and never accepted a penny for the parts and they all offered to pay for them.....helped change starters and many other misc. parts on cars at the tracks and at their homes/shops......currently doing some body work for a buddy on his FFR roadster, he's a mechanic by trade and knows nothing of body work, also, did about 2 days of body work and painted his F-150 4x4 mud racing truck last spring, he gave me a few beers and that was enough payment.........
I just pray and hope I don't need to ask anyone for help in a similar situation, that means my junk is NOT broken and running pretty good, that's all I ask for............
And then there was this kinda tall, lanky guy with a beard, that gave me a 10x12 brand new canopy at a track a few years ago, all I had to do was take it down and box it up and haul it off....
BTW: to that guy, thanks a million, I've used it a ton.....got anymore canopys you don't want????????
