Damn,RIP DD

 

RIP Dirty Doug! Sounds like we lost a good guy, and a real character. You probably had to be to keep up with Ed. Gone but not forgotten-

 

Damn. He was one of the first rodding linked people I became aware of, about 1960 when I was 12 or so...I knew him only as a character in the little fiction stories on Roth that appeared in Rod and Custom. It was years later that I learned he was a real person!

 

Sigh... another one gone...

 

This is sad to hear. Could someone who knew him well give the board a history lesson/tribute?

 

Dirty Doug, Was Ed's sidekick for most of his car building antics, He helped create whatever, Ed dreamed up.
Plaster, Fiberglass, sanding, painting,........ you name it.
