Just to put a fun footnote to this fantastic car.
The seller had some parts for sale on this site back in May that would work on my build. I contacted him, found out where he was at and saw that there was a small airport near him.
I asked him if he could meet me there. He said no as he was busy putting flags up for memorial day, but that his son could!
I spoke with his son and he said he could meet me at the airport and we set a time. He said he would be driving a Dodge dually.
As I'm landing, I saw he and his wife standing by the 300. I taxied over and the first thing we both agreed on: That was no Dodge dually and This calls for a photo op!
Here are a couple...
The airplane is a 1946 Ercoupe
Twin Tails!
Loved the car. And the seller, his son and wife are great people!
The last irony, I got so involved with the 300 I almost forgot to pay him. After I started the airplane up, he waved me down. I shut down and he said we forgot something. OH YEAH!!
How embarrassing
