Even if he was unliked, still a sad day for the auto enthusiasts. RIP

feel the same way... not a fan of the man after watching him on his show, but the industry has lost a builder and pioneer, and of course best wishes to his family and employees

That is sad, I feel for his friends and family, both for their sadness and, well, that unspoken other sentiment. Maybe there is something to be said for karma. If he was a nicer person, maybe he'd be alive today. Now, I don't mean to take shots at a legend, I mean, he had vision and talent beyond most peoples capabilities, but I cannot comprehend the way he talked to his ex-wife on the show. There is no reason to treat any other person that way. And insiders say the show was mild compared to the way he was in life. The attitude wasn't just there for ratings.

It was the 63 Stingray that they had to do 'glass work to and caged, etc. The owner wanted it to be a full Show 'N Go rig. The way they did the cage interfered with the rear end, so they raised the ass of the car for a super-Stinkbug look....it was horrendous!
