I'm sure many of you in the midwest, and around the country know, or know of Bob Stretch Zimmerman and his Corvette restoration business Classic Motors of Naperville, IL. Stretch is in the hospital after a serious heart attack.

Stretch is a great guy and probably knows more about 63-67 Corvettes than almost anyone else out there.

This probably isn't the correct place to put this post but I'm sure it can be moved if necessary.

Oh no! Sorry to hear about Bob. His shop was the meeting place for guys on Saturday. He helped me with my corvette. Very cool guy!

Went to see him today. Still on life support in the ICU but slowly growing stronger hour by hour. Prayers for him and his family. Hopefully out of danger soon.

I heard from big Jake and he said Stretch recovered and is doing well.
