    Any direction appreciated.

    Last I heard, he was embattled in a law suit, and left the country.

    I hope it didn’t have anything to do with rollover protection

    We are close to the family. What do you need? They didn’t flee the country, they are sailing on Astor and won the suit against VW.

    They won the lawsuit they didn’t leave the country they are sailing from port to port. They have no reason to leave the country.

    Thanks for the responses.

    We were attempting to reach out with regard to one of his conversions. Sorry, cannot
    go into specifics here.

    Why would you want to bother Richard Straman personally about an old car he once worked on when you have the most knowledgeable group on Ferraris right here?

    The Maserati on BAT is a thing of beauty. I didn't know he did anything but Slut mobiles.

    I meant: go ahead and ask here. Someone is very likely able and willing to help you.

    If you prefer more privacy, you can start a new thread in Silver Subscribed (since that’s what you are) or I could move this thread there. That way it can’t be accessed by the general public or search engines.

    Okay thanks.

    Yes, the information I was looking for wasn't for public consumption. We were researching
    a certain Straman conversion and were looking to connect some dots.

    Since the car arrived at Curated yesterday, the cat is out of the bag now and the famous
    Hubbell "Slutmobile" is now with us.

    My original inquiry was because I am writing a profile for a website of a memorable person whose shop I used to visit. Similar to the one I just wrote on **********.com
    on Gary Bobileff. No inquiries about lawsuits,just questions like which was the most difficult car , which was the most rewarding project, etc. If you are in touch with him and he's amenable to being interviewed by email please give him my email [email protected]. Thanks
