    John had kept the car garaged most of the time, but as with most Model A's, the floor pans and lower three inches of the body were rusted beyond repair and had to be replaced. My brother, Mike, helped me to restore the car as well. He stripped the entire car to bare metal, and then I welded in 13 different body panels to replace the rotted areas.

    I loved Billy Martin. I thought Billy Martin would be a great manager. The one thing that hurt Billy Martin was personal habits. And I told him I loved him, I really did. He was down in Tampa just before Christmas. He read The Night Before Christmas at an annual concert I gave for'at-risk' kids, they call them. I don't like to call any kid 'at-risk.' People went wild for him. I remember telling him that night at dinner after the concert, 'Billy, God, can't you get your life straightened out I've seen you with your ear hanging off.'
