damnnit man...that is sad...I just learned it this moment,
I haven't seen him since the 80's his son used to come to my night club but wasn't into vettes,
he invented a lot of copied parts and the aftermarket vette world wouldn't have been what it is without him....
My heart felt warm wishes go out to his family and loved ones...
