Hey Guys, Today we had a pizza party at John Shimer’s shop in New Milford, CT.
What a great time we had there ❗ The shop was open for everyone to wonder through and the picnic tables and chairs were set up on a nice grassy area in the
shade. In attendance was Mike L., Carl “Bootie” Booth, my brother Jimmy, Tommy S.,
Joe S., Donnie K., John Shimer (our host) and Garth (building owner) and his Buds.
Thank you so much John for this great get together. So nice hearing all the stories
from days gone bye. Time is flying by so quickly that it is necessary to have these
gatherings. 😀 Also thank you Garth for the use of your tables etc. 😀

Frank… 😎

Hey Guys, I asked Bonnie (Fred’s daughter) to post a few pictures on Facebook of her Dad, Fred Egloff
at the Big Al’s Car Show on July 3rd. I moved some of those pictures to this site. I talked with Fred this
afternoon and he was outside doing a little painting. I couldn’t be happier with the way he sounded!
Fred told me that when he was at Big Al’s, quite a few people didn’t recognize him. “For good reason”!
In the last year and a half or so, Fred has lost 50 lbs and his shirt size went from an extra large to a medium.
I think he looks great and more important, he feels much better. Keep it up Fred, we want to see you at
Lebanon Valley in September….. 😀

Oh Bob! Forgot to mention, that ‘stock’ green ’39’ Willys,used to be owned by a guy named Frank Corbo,from Rye Brook,N.Y.a few years ago,winning many awards with it! He also has (or had?) a nice ’40’ Willys street rod too! He started a ‘new’ club,a few years back called ‘The Gasser Network’, but quickly phased out.for some ‘odd’ reason (?). Anyway…THANKS again….Pete.

Wow, if you added up all the stuff I’ve had, it could have put a sizeable dent in this collection. I never thought of displaying it all like this. I always needed the money.

Many “THANKS” again Bob,for sharing, well ‘appreciated’!!! I remember seeing that S.W.C Willys, with that strange looking grille nose, at the U.S. Nationals, in ’62’,when it ran B/GS. A few years back ( I think it was Hot Rod Magazine) had an article on that steel ‘nose’,along with other collections of Willys memorbilia. The guy who had it,must have been a ‘dreamer’ at that time,wanting some ‘ridiculous’ ($$$$$$) price for it!!! This is ‘not’ the same guy,that owns it now! Having such an ‘extensive’ collection,like he has,you could only dream about!!! 😮 🙄 😆 Pete.

[340swingerParticipant]

Very happy to oblige, I know you guys love those Willies. The guy that got me into this place has been in the L.A. Roadsters since 68, he also owns a chrome plating shop in Gardena Ca. When he told me about the show I mentioned that I knew a bunch of guys really into Willies, he said “bring them !” Sorry I didn’t let you guys know, next time, given enough lead time you may want to hop a flight ! He also said this guy has done over 100K in chrome work with him. He does good work but he aint cheap. Best of luck. Bob Hoffman.
