    We took Peter for a ride with us yesterday, had a nice time. Many cars on the run had both P&J’s and SO-CAL parts on them, so PC3’s legacy lives on. 7EA3C125-4A51-4CC8-8419-FD376CBE629B.jpeg

    I think of Pete every time I drive my coupe. Because of him and his marketing skills I am living a dream.............

    I remember that segment very well . As far as I am concerned, Pete (and Jake) will always be "California Gold" . A brilliant man, skilled craftsman, business man, innovator, and all around good egg! Our industry, hobby, passion, addiction, whatever you call it, owes him a deep debt of gratitude!

    I did not know this.
    Jeez, I missed some stuff over the last couple years.
    Pete Chapouris. Man oh man...
    God bless him.

    Thanks for posting this Kevin, I was thinking about him this weekend.

    Two years.

    I was standing behind the camera man when that was shot with Huel. Two gentlemen right there. Both are truly missed....

    I placed his Memorial T Shirt across the hood of my coupe while I cleaned it on Sunday

    Met Pete years ago at one of the very early NSRA shows in Louisville. Just a down to earth cool dude that treated everyone on the same level. He was impressive then and is still to this day. Rest well my friend, as I will always cherish our time chatting immensely.
