KD might have the Model B together by then.

I am hopeful - but he has so much on his plate.

Wayland is a vast treasure of knowledge & I am anticipating he will come to Bakersfield Swap.

It would be really nice if he was encouraged.

I am trying to get Wayland to attend the Bakersfield Swap meet in April.

Some folks think he passed away.

Wayland owns the 1904 Model B.

He is one of The Last Of The Mohicans.

Please post on this thread to encourage him.

Welcome to those who just joined the forum.

I might be able to do that. It depends on when you want it done - what the weather is like along with how long the vehicle is. Sorry but I do not accept international phone calls. The charges from my cell phone carrier are outrageous. If you wish to discuss transport - please PM or email me. Thanks ...
