I did, and Carmen said it was not the guy. I'll ask Carmen again at some point but I peppered him up pretty good with questions so I don't want him to think I'm a pest (but I kind of am lol).

Of the guys I think it would be interesting to track down from history, Frank would be one, and Bill Hayes (Auto Weld) would be another. Can't find any info on either of them.

I get no hits on Frank Carnisacola anywhere. I'm open minded that this might not be an accurate spelling of the last name. I only say that because I have a degree in linguistics and it suprises to have zero hits on just the last name.

Great thread John,....very interesting.

Did some digging on Bill Hayes, so I'm told he used to have a shop in Patterson NJ. He did some work on IV for Joe Algieri. Sounds like he would be in his 80s. Was also told a guy named Bill Cerelli had a shop near Bill Hayes and maybe would know him or if he's still around. I'll poke around.

(edit) Bill Carelli has a FB page for his engine shop I'll try reaching him tomorrow.

Been a bunch of phone calls last two days.

Bill Cerrili is a great guy!

Great, I'd just like to ask him if Bill Hayes is still with us, I'd like to talk to Bill H and ask him what work he did on IV.

Talked to Bill Ceralli, he said Bill Hayes passed long time ago.

With every year that passes, more and more people connected to Grumpy will be discovered as passed away, or will pass away soon. You're doing a great job to discover this story and all it's players.

We're still working contacts in NC. It's the only lead on the car, that the car was there in the early 90s. Been working through some names we've gotten.

This is so great to hear some of the pieces coming together. Fingers crossed that IV is located.

Keep up the good work PSJ!
