[Roadsters] 2350 stroker (was "Best bucket seats for a roadster?")

[Nolan]

Hello Bill,
That is neat that Bill still has the lathe. Hopefully someday Todd will get
to use it.
 
I heard that Vern's dyno that is in the picture on the hot rod Datsun book
went to Portland.
Dyno days were such fun times. All the work leading up to that moment when
we would see if the ideas really worked.

It is sad to hear about a crank with so much work being tossed aside. Time
does move on. I wonder if the oiling improvements had been finished. It
could be a treasure for someone but only a very few.
There was another customer here in Eugene working on roadster with a touch
more stroke than mine. Perhaps you remember who?

Best regards,
Nolan

Hi Nolan, I live a couple blocks from Vern's brother Bill, he lives in
Lebanon, Or. Yes I have seen Vern's home made Lathe and the u20 stroker
crank work he had done, there was an unfinished u20 crank with the welds on
the rod journals in the scrap pile. His lathe was made out of a Nissan
engine block and was still there when I was at Bill's a couple years ago...
