Reminds me of the time I was restoring a Model A Ford. One day, while I was on vacation, I was working on the car when the UPS driver stopped to deliver a package. He told me that he wondered what all those packages were that he was delivering. I invited him into the garage to show him the car. He told me that he would love to show his family what he had delivered parts for. I told him to hold on for a minute and went in the house and brought out a Polaroid camera and took his picture with the car. About a year later I was showing the car at a show when this guy shows up and asked if I remembered him, at first I didn't then it occurred to me he was the UPs driver. I pulled out my Brownie Hawkeye camera and took another picture of him and his family and sent it to him.

All the right parts have little use if one lacks the skill necessary to get the job done.
