Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ok so it?s done (Matt Boyd)

"He and the other mechanic marveled and asked me how I'd convinced Frawley (Dick Frawley) to allow me to work in the shop with him."

So that begs the question - how DID​ you convince him??

I remember this happening, but don't recall all of the backstory.  Too bad you couldn't have continued working there - you could have become the next "Dick Frawley"....

The other guys who worked in the shop were real craftsmen. One (Stan
Scantlin) used to work for the Bureau of Engraving and did the wood
restoration on my car as well as reengraving the dials and switches. He and
the other mechanic marveled and asked me how I'd convinced Frawley (Dick
Frawley) to allow me to work in the shop with him. It was really fun. I'd
either stay at a cheap hotel or even camp, and then drive over to the shop.
We'd all sit around the first 30 minutes drinking coffee and reading the
paper, work until lunch, all sit in the lunch room together and read the
paper and trade stories, then work through the afternoon. I wished I could
just keep working there, even if not on my car. It was really a fun time
working with the best in the business. :-)
