It was always fun going to the shop and ordering parts back in the 80's , he had a guy working the parts department named Joe Clepaus (sp?) that I would get 4 speed transmission parts (pre cut synchronizers) from Joe and buy speed parts from George . I was there one time and they were receiving a truck load of those Buick Indy lite engines what seemed like 25 engines and George had this one guy working and all he did all day long was load and unload along with move those Indy motors around to different machines they were using , he also had a 66 Nova with a SBC cross ram that George built for him that was a candy apple red beauty . Joe ended up getting cancer and dying at a fairly young age 45-ish and just seemed like it was hard getting out there when the mail order stuff started getting popular like Jegs (formerly Buckeye Sales) PAW and Summitt
