I couldn't bring myself to watch this last night after I heard of Larry's passing. So, I watched it this morning thinking I would feel better. NOPE, gonna take a long time to get over this one.....................

Nice work Evel. Thanks for posting.

We're really gonna miss you Larry.....................E

 

Shows you how important home movies, stills, videos etc. are. With out them we can only talk about someone, with them we can actually see and relive them.

 

Very kewl story.. RIP and may your work live on forever

Thanks Piero.

 

Thanks Piero.

RIP Larry.

 

i did a interview with him at the gnrs....wow

 

he was mr kool before we knew what it was. well Tommie and dutch have someone to talk pinning with now. rest in peace paint master.

 

He would have been 72. I looked at all his pictures on my walls, went to Rik Hoving's site, read thru Kustomland and got my in progress Grapevine model out.....but it just doesn't feel the same.

 

RIP
thanks for posting

 

Thanks Evel for sharing. It gives many of us who didn't know him personally a little grasp of how cool this guy was and how influential he still is. He will surely be missed.

 

I took this picture of Larry Watson in Oct of last year at Winfield's. At the time I thought it was ironic that he was signing a gray primered rusty rat rod homebuilt when his legend was all about color. Shows what a nice guy he was - comfortable with his image and not about to get hung up on the wrong things.

Great video at the opening of this post. Seems like he led a cool, creative life and career of innovation. He was at the forefront of custom painting all the way down to airbrushing sparkling color into girl's hair at car shows.

What did the last line of the video mean? I may have heard wrong but I thought he said "...my first customer called my bluff - hit the Bellflower clock and I was history."
