 * Curt was a very good machinist. Fact is he could fix about anything.  He was a quick study of all things. HIs garage was full of lathes, mills, etc. Hell of a nice fella too.  He helped me make a valve rod when it broke on my first engine  #334.  Prior to that I had never machined anything.  He stood by and told me how to use the mill, etc.
