So very sorry to hear of your loss. Jake was not only knowledgeable but had a realistic view of corvettes that I found refreshing. He will be missed.

Jake helped me on more than one occassion, and many a time when I was looking for info I would run across him helping out other members as well. I'm sorry to hear this.

One suggestion I have is to go to the Hot Rod Magazine Web site and look around and see if there is anyone in your area that could render advice and a helping hand.

Guys over there build that type of thing all the time. Hopefully someone on this Forum can help as well.

Paryers and thoughts with you and your family.

Very sorry to hear this about your Dad. Prayers go out to you and your family.

Everything said about him before, absolutely true. You couldn't be here more than a few moths and not take notice of his knowledge and willingness to help and share.

Over the past year or so, maybe more, he always included in his signature references to West Point. He is a very proud father, Ryan.

Ryan, I'm so sorry to hear about your Father. Jake was a very proud Father and although a bit stubborn like myself, a great guy.
