OK, here's the update.  First of all I asked him about the coupe in the back ground and he did not remember it. Picture was taken in 2000 and he is 93.

I went out to his place this morning thinking he was going to fire up this old car and drive it around for us, Kathy and I,  but when we got there he had the body off and was having a bit of a time with it. Said it had great compression but wouldn't fire and keep running. I had a look and his cam timing was off, so after loosening the lock nut on the cam and bringing  the crank around so the piston was at TDC I put the cam in the middle between the rockers, overlap, and tightened the lock nut.  This put it in time and after cranking for a while it hit a few times but would not take off and run. I wanted to have some good video to post on YouTube to show but not this time, I am going back in two weeks and we should get it running then.

Here are a few pictures of the car with the body off.

This is the crankcase, the horizontal shaft below is what drives the cam. the next picture shows the timing gears.

This is the cylinder head. In the lower left corner and the picture below you can see the cam and rockers.

It's got roller rockers!

This is Jack, he's 93 and he still loves to play with his toys including an A36 Bonanza which he still flys out of his drivway.   Below is the body for this car and some of his other playthings.

It's a good 12" center to center and had a bit of a bend to it, but I don't think we could find a new one and I would hate to break it trying to straiten it.
