    Local boy.... He grew up here & had a shop across the street from the local college.... Surprising number of cars he built in the 50's & early 60's still around this area..... And he shows up every year for the big American Graffiti Car show...

    I met him 3-4 years ago in London, Ontario at Steve Plunkett's big show. George Barris was there too if my sieve of a memory serves. He's an amazing survivor of a dying breed, that's for sure!  :cheers:

    I remember seeing his asymmetrical and custom cars at the Oakland Coliseum Rod and Custom Show in the 70's.
