Hey Bob – lost your email. I have your old R90S sidecar outfit. Send me a note to the above email. I was going to send you some updates on the rig. Hope all is well.
BOB! What great stuff!! I am KNOCKED OUT! I am so pleased that you received such wide recognition for the rotary in the sidecar. Before I had even seen the pictures, I was thinking that you deserved a lot of credit just for the originality of the idea. Add to that your beautiful workmanship and some amazing fabrication and engineering; WOW!! I’ll have lots more comments and maybe a few questions in the next time that we talk.
P.S. 1932 & ’33 roadsters rank very high with me. Of the dozens, or maybe hundreds of ’32 Roadsters that I have seen over the years, I would rank yours as the BEST!
P.P.S. Drop me a front or front quarter photo of the Jetta if you have one, with or without the wheels on the sidewalk!
What a beauty! VT
