They say he had been a long time diabetic and had some complications from a recent surgery.

I didn't really like his attitude but I respected his influence on the car hobby.
He will have a lasting impact on trends and style.

Man that sucks, even if he was a hard @$$, he built some nice rods.

I hated to see him cut up 75 year old original cars to made rods out of them.
With all of the after market stuff out there I thought that was a crime.

I wonder if his son and wife will continue on?
