I apparently missed this keeping my nose to the grindstone.. but wanted to post it. Everyone from Chip Foose to Jesse James to many other hot rod builders all worked for him at one point or another.

I didn't always agree with his lifestyle.. but he made great wheels and Hot Rods none the less.

I hadn't heard that he died. I enjoyed watching his show, American Hot Rod. He acted like a real jerk alot of the time, and ran off or alienated alot of his talented workers (Foose and James being prime examples). Don't mean to speak ill of the dead though.

I'm still ticked over losing Ed Roth.
