I'll be sure to watch, thanks for the heads up. Max Corkins also had a big part in the '47 Woody project.

Thanks for the info, Peter.
Your Avanti was pictured in a recent edition of Old Cars Weekly including a comment of how it had been previously pictured as the Wreck of the Week.

I have been in his shop many years ago. It was so long ago...that now, it only seems like a distant dream. I am eager to see it again. I already have a reminder, to watch the show, set on my computer calendar.

Max is the organizer of the Reedsville Swap Meet for the Manhattan Chapter. He always has an open house at his shop during the meet; entertainment includes his own oldies, R&B band. Be there or be square.

And, you are correct, Chris. Max is the one who pulled the incredibly dessicated woodie from the proving grounds graveyard and secured it at his shop until sufficient interest was garnered for its resurrection.

Hope Max didn't fall prey to Franks Bundling

If you have never been in Max's Shop this will be a treat so make sure you watch. This may just wet your curiosity and if it does come to Reedsville for Max's renown Friday night gathering in his shop and have a look for yourself.

Frank always wants to give you less because he's buying more. Sorry Frank but give me the full fair price!

[Guido]

I wonder if they were "picking" inside or outside? Curious if Frank will overpay for another car because he didn't do his research?

Max and Pete Wilson were both recognized for their efforts in saving the Woody, Jim. Pete was with Max when they brought the car back to Lewistown PA. Have doubts about the recognition ask the IMC Chair I think he can tell you the correct "skinny" on who was recognized for their efforts

I see several different times for that show/series this evening. What time is the one with Max (east coast time)?
