Hey Joisy boys !
I was replacing the bearings in my lower control arms tonight ( yea Im a hot date) and as i cleaned the road grime from the connector between the two wishbones, I noticed inscribed in the steel "built by HAROLD BARTON Somerdale NJ"...anybody know him?....heard of him?...is he in the book?...I thought it might be interesting to talk to him 22 years after he built it.
thganks....KK |
Doesn't ring a bell here, perhaps someone closer to te Philly area of South Jersey..............Will put the word out in the am...............

WHERE??
KOBRAKARL I have lived in NJ 45 years and have never heard of somerdale. Sommerville, Summerset, looked at a map and found it. Was he a machinist or welder for the lower arms on your cobra. Try finding Peter Bayer. He would have most the answers. Rick Lake
