Default Re: Tom Ellison

Yes Jim, he worked with me for 2 days in 90+ degree heat to get another engine back in the car. We had to finish a shortblock, fix 4 bent valves in the heads, and built an oil pan. At 70 years old. He was great, and the only reason I made it back. It was an experience I'll never forget. Just wish I could of held up my end by getting past first round. I only got to know him for a short time, but he left a lasting impression on me that I'll always remember. RIP Tom, and God speed..
