    Awesome man- part of our Long Beach hot rod history. Very much will be missed. Don't know if it's mentioned much, but he was also a Long Beach motorcycle police officer. Don't often hear of that mix- early hot rodder and police officer. Jim

    I know it's inevitable but we've sure lost a lot of the pioneers in our hobby/pastime lately. It is nice to know that those like Jack left something of themselves behind in the masterpieces they created. RIP Mr Calori, you left your mark.
