he Has been building Hot rods since he was 13, more recently his company has been on Discovery/turbo "American Hotrod" showing the day to day life of every aspect of the builds, very interesting even though i would never have one its just the skill i admire

real shame but means the owners of his motors will be able to sell it for alot more now. he lost it towards the end which i think he regretted as he wasn't really working on cars anymore. his name will live on in the awsome cars he designed and built that full aluminium car with no paint was amazing.

World class car builders dont come along too often, maybe some people should look up from their computer every now and then
watch an episode of American Hotrod and see it all happening, the design and build is amazing to watch, ok some of the employees are "tools" but the engineering is excelent

Totally! I never forget first watching it, marvelling at their welding skills to start with but when they then skim filler around the welds on chassis so the weld looks completely smooth - now that's attention to detail 8O

Sad news he is a legend, but it seemed to me he put too much pressure on his workers who in the end left to work with Foose!!
But truly a amazing man!
