Never really a fan of his or his cars but that's to bad.

63 is pretty young to die. Seems like everyone is dying off this year.

He did quite a bit, his show seemed to much for drama for a real shop, mostly trying to make the tv show more popular.

Some of his stuff was really clean, some of it overdone, but he can make a set of wheels...thats for sure!!

Damn, his shop is like 20 min from my house. I've been there quite a few times (I even applied for a job once). What a loss. I should stop by and pay my respects in person soon.
