At Barona I belive two weeks ago. Going strong at 95, 96 next month. As far as I’m concerned he’s a national treasure.

I saw him in passing when he was only 89.... Him and a bunch of younger guys were chopping a top live at a World of Wheels car show here in Houston. He was running circles around the younger guys, almost literally! shock

I met him at a Route 66 car show on memorial day weekend in Barstow, CA around 1988, he opened a shop in California City shortly after that building custom cars. he is a Master bow up

I belive he lives right off California 14 going south to Lancaster. Right on the western edge of Edwards AFB. Ian Rouselle is right down the road. I’ve been meaning to stop there over the years but just didn’t work out. I’m going up to Washington in June and plan on returning via I-5 to the CA58 to Barstow. It would be probably off my route30 miles but it will be worth it. Can’t miss his shop, one of those big rigs from the movie Damnation Ally is parked out front.

I hope he lives forever, seems to be a lovely person.
Think about what he's been exposed to in terms of chemicals & etc and he's a bit like Keith Richards, in the sense that he may well be here after we're all gone...
