Just on the off chance any Chicago area folks reading this might know him, the original owner of my car was a Patrick Willford who lived on Algonquin Road in Rolling Meadows. Online I found reference to someone with that name in Streamwood, with previous addresses in Mt. Prospect and Rolling Meadows, who was in his late 50's. Has to be the same guy! I found a phone number but when I called it it was dead. I sent a SASE to the address with a note asking about the car, and included my phone and email. Never got it back or any contact.
But if by chance anyone has heard of the guy, let him know I'd like to have a chance to talk to him for a few minutes!!
Here is a picture of my floor where Scott patched the area rusted through because of a leak in the A pillar. When the vinyl top was removed we found that both A pillars were pretty trashed and he rebuilt those.
