Why do you think they call him 'Scarface'?
Wow small world, my grandpa had a few encounters with Al Capone working as a teenager at a gas station in Logansport, IN.
When they found out my grandpa knew how to weld Capone asked him if he could weld the back suspension to be rigid so that no matter how much weight they had in the trunk the frame would not sag over the wheels.
Grandpa got a trip to Chicago and a nice steak dinner for that little favor. Another time Capone and his goons were back at the gas station and decided to have a little fun when they asked him to check the radiator level. They had a fake radiator cap in place and all having a good laugh at him. Well he popped the hood to see what was wrong, and found 2 machine guns mounted under the hood. He quickly closed the hood and didn’t say a word.
Needless to say he was lucky to be left alone. He quickly quit his job and never saw them again otherwise I’d likely have never been born. Grandma, before they were married, had heard the 1st story and felt uneasy about the welding favor. She wanted him to leave and never have anything else to do with that job nor those Chicago goons.
