RIP Nick. He took time out of his day to discuss, in detail, how he would build a 400-based stroker for my Scamp. He knew I was on the fence with regard to keeping the car/building the engine vs. selling the car, but he still spent time discussing details, options, costs, etc... He didn't have to do that, but he did, and he was gracious about it. That's service that is hard to find these days. A true credit to the car community in general.

Very sorry to hear this. Only spoke w/ him once when I bought my hemi headers from him...one heck of a nice guy to deal with.

Very sad to hear this. Thought and prayers to his family

Knowing Nick had health issues for a number of years I still can't believe he's gone

I first met Nick back in the 80's when he was buying valve seals from our family business and it didn't take long for us to become friends. Later I found out he used to own my Barracuda. Just this June Nick helped me out with modifying an intake valve for my motor and ordered some gaskets. I thanked him for his help and business at the time but wanted to give him a call to let him know everything was A-OK, the motor was back together and thank him again, guess I'll have to wait for that.

God speed Nick and prayers for his family & friends

Nick did my cylinder heads back in the late 90's my car ran great, I heard he had a heart attack and was in the hospital, how long was he in there before he passed away??

Sorry to hear he passed.He was one of the real good guys.Rocky

Sad to hear. RIP....

If never met him and never heard anything but good things about him.

RIP

Nick was truly one of the most genuine people I have ever met. No matter what was going on he would talk and answer questions or give advice. As a person he was great. As a business man he was the best. He always gave all options and explained his ideas. I will miss speaking to him. When I called the shop today and spoke with his son and received the news I was at a total loss for words. My you find peace and your family find closure with your loss. Your friend Joe from philly.

Rest in Peace Nick. You were the best, and helped me out immensely. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wilson family.Godspeed.

I need to say more than just RIP, I met Nick when I was 19, he was always a busy man he worked for a landing gear company and worked on mopar engines for his friends and his competition. LoL...I bought a set of 915 heads from him and they exceeded all expectations. I could go on with many different stories. ..but I can say I am glad I got to know you and you did great things for your friends and family GODSPEED NICK and God Bless the Wilson the family
