My thought Glen, Customer's Alfa getting a service there? (Again, just my $.02) Gordon Chance (Shelby Engine builder, and known as 'The Teenage Tuner' also the Author of the book 'Raceman') Worked @ 'Hollywood Sports Cars' in the 50'-60's and was taught the craft by the 'Old world Craftsmen' that were brought over to keep these Exotic cars running (As Gordon said "Highly Paid for their skills compared to European wages) Gordon told me a story of one these gentlemen. Watching this Craftsmen put a 4-Cam Porsche motor back together was considered an art, as only the best could do it. This gentleman carried on a conversation with Gordon, while rebuilding the motor, Gordon said how can you concentrate on the task at hand and talk with me at the same time?? He said I Built the first one "I have a pretty good idea where things go" Before Gordon passed, he was writing those stories, the book was to be called 'The Teenage Tuner' Sadly that will may never happen now. I do know Sharron his wife, has what he wrote so far, and I've asked if I could somehow help to get what he wrote out to the public, she's thinking about it, here's hoping Cheers Tom. https://gordonchance.weebly.com/
