Well, I can relate, as most of you know. My best condolences and wishes for his family, there are never any answers and always more questions and problems in times like these. I hope they have enough love of him to power through all the tough months ahead, I will help in any way if I can. While I did not know the man, he sounds a lot like my uncle in his contributions to hot rodding and street machines. You can always tell the ones whose blood pressure reads 10w30.
