Spotted a '52 rolling down the road (not mine)

Spotted last month,

Some of you saw the pics on my phone last meet, here's the post:

Rolling down St. Clair near Jane, and see a reddish beetle roof in the opposite lane in traffic. Look in my rearview, and WTF? splitwindow! So pulled a u-turn and finally caught up to it at Eglinton/Royal York. Ran up to him at the light and asked him to pull over.

1952 original 26hp engine, with 16'wheels, with nothing missing. He was upset the aircleaner when showing me the motor wasn't original stocker. But he has it at home. Expressed interest in seeing my '52 when it's done. Didn't tell him about my mods. I think he'll freak as he's a vintage purist.

Paint/body was decent from a real crappy respray that oversprayed everwhere. We exchanged numbers(not selling), but if he does, i have dibs!

Who would have figured, i thought i had the only one around here.
