Come on now guys ...
You'd think anyone like Keith, with a college degree from a reputable school
would know his geography better. Try an atlas or Mapquest for Guam - N Z
then Guam - Alabama and check out the distances involved.
Since Terry makes it to Arizona and Utah much more frequently, I'd be happy
to suggest a better spot for the car. Dry storage as compared to the sea
air and high humidity that has been offered. My brother-in-law has this
40X60 "garage" and does nice work finishing other people's projects. He
built a '29 Ford "Depot Hack" from a Ford cowl (and the wood pieces from a
kit) that was a very nice street rod. Obviously knows his way around wood.
After he finished it I'd be happy to keep the seals lubricated by an
occasional drive on a sunny day until Terry retires to the states.
