Default RIP Gary Wing

I knew Gary for 40+ years. A Vietnam helicopter pilot and true Corvette enthusiast. I worked on his aircraft and his 69 corvette that later became mine 15 years ago. He made me promise that I would keep it in the same (great) condition that he did and I have done just that (maybe even a little better! )
RIP Gary and thank you for the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful car that comes with special memories.

RIP Gary

He passed 15 years ago? If he was on the Forum, what was his Forum name?

He just passed last week. I got the car from him 15 years ago. He had another vette and couldn’t keep up with both.
I don’t know his forum name, but Wingman seems familiar to me.
