    I don't know, that house looks like something out of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Wait...that IS Joe Zaff's house, and those are his parts cars!

    It's downstate Delaware. I think there's a 57 Testa Rossa inside. I knocked on the door. No answer.

    That's a classic photo. If it were in Kentucky those would be old Chevys and Fords.Jon in Delaware

    I live about 3 miles from this place, and know it and its quirky owner fairly well. His name is Glenn (PM me if you want his last name) and he runs this MG repair business from this "garage." I used to own an MG, and bought several salvaged parts from him (this was 25 years ago). Every time I would go to his shop, I would have to knock on the door and state my business before he would let me in. Guess he's still operating the same way. His brother runs a Beechcraft Bonanza repair shop a few doors up from him, and has an excellent reputation, though the area around his shop is just as junky. Both these businesses are adjacent to the Delaware Airpark airport in Cheswold, Delaware.

    I would venture to say that there is no F-car in his garage!

    Yea the air plane business was my next stop, but the gates were locked. I would like his name if it's ok as I would love to go back and do a little photo story on him. I didn't mention the location because I figured everyone with a cell phone would be strolling around his property.
    I have passed the place dozens of times on assignments and knocked a couple times, but had a spare couple minutes and thought IDE try again. He has never answered.
    I did really like the little blue gt out front.
