WOW.
That's fabulous. Wonder how he got into the older cars?
Does he have a bunch?

You know, give him a bedroom for a week and have him help you do as
much as possible during that time. Rebuild an engine or tranny. Even with
the flight and food, it would be a lot of fun and probably the same amount as having the car done by someone else, but you got to help and learn.

He might, but I highly doubt it.
