Location: Muskego, WI | I'm starting this thread for two reasons...
1. He tends to come across many forward look cars and either sells them whole or parts them out, so I thought I'd bring his name to attention to others looking for parts. He does not own or operate a junk yard, but he usually has a few cars on hand at all times. I have personally purchased parts for my 1960 Plymouth from Dorsey and I've found him to be very honest and reasonable.
2. He broke his collar bone around Christmas and hasn't been able to do any work. He is also having computer issues, so he hasn't been online here lately either. If you are expecting something from Dorsey or can't reach him, now you understand why. |

Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | I bought a couple things from him, told him to wait on sending them until he is able to disassemble the parts and ship them. No biggie, he good for them. He has an old diplomat for sale once he gets it running too. It must be to nice to part it out for disc brakes, rear end, engine etc. |

Location: Newark, Texas (Fort Worth) | I too talked to him a couple days ago. He has at least a week of recovery before he can do any heavy work. He intends to send the lighter parts as soon as he can. Marc. |

| Good man to deal with. If you have a sense of humor you can have a few laughs with him as well. Hope his recovery is swift and full. |

Location: little rock, AR | Thanks guys. Recovery has been challenging at times. Kidney stones have become more frequent. The antibiotics that they had me on while in the hospital causes stones. Overall I'm still hobbling around but going to join a local city gym to utilize the pool. Low impact on this hip and build back the muscles in my left leg/hip. My sister found a diamond and going to pick it up today. Its a '72 Empi VDub.

| Thanks for the update Dorsey. Hope you push through sooner than later. Swimming now is a great idea with this heat! |
