Vintage shots from days gone by!

Street Rodder Magazine did a good feature on the roadster and Mr Athan in the 70s ,,very nice and well built car ,,Elvis apparently took a shine to the car and there was some fan mail in the car when Mr Athen got it back,,the letters were regarded as a little too risqué for the family type publication that Street Rodder was ,,great history there,,

Well, no. Just a tad anal. And I suppose, the opposite might be true... getting a little impatient with anyone who didn't return the tools to their proper places (or stole them?). Every high school shop class I ever took had peg boards like these with the painted outlines for each tool, so you could easily see what was missing at the end of the class. Same for commercial firms, especially if they had big tool bins and a lot of craftsmen checking out tools. And if you ever worked in the aviation field... you quickly learned that no plane gets to fly after maintenance unless all the work is inspected at least twice and all the tools and take-off parts are accounted for - every single one.

I ran a toolroom for twelve years, people always commented I was orderly, I'll agree I guess, but I was never that anal.
