    Well back in December Roger O'Dell got Watsons attention long enough to give me some idea's for my 51, and after lots and lots of visits to his house and talking over lunch we came up with some ideas........Well as you all know Watson stopped painting long ago but still had tons of ideas! Tomorrow Dennis Ricklefs thanks to Roger for hooking me up with him! is going to lay on the ideas Watson came up with! we had planned to have this done for the Showcase of Kustoms when Larry was going to debut his book! So tomorrow will be a day mixed with emotions! Sad because my friend will not see his ideas, Proud that he was able to help me and Excited about the change! I will post some pics tomorrow....stay tuned!

    I'm real curious what Watson had in mind for your car! I love it the way it sits now, but it must have looked like a blank canvas to Watson. Keep us posted.

  5. looking forward to seeing his ideas come to life on your car. I am also hoping the Book project will be put in print. I heard about the book and was hoping to one day have a signed copy of it. RIP Larry

    Dennis Ricklefs is a true legend and a hell of a nice guy. Anything he touches turns to gold. This is a fitting tribute! I cant wait to see it.
