sad news on the metal shaping front . Clay cook has passed , a metal man and master shaper of the first order .clay built parts for many riddler contenders ,show cars ,bikes,and many magazine cars ,he was a true friend ,mentor and teacher ,most of what I know about shaping I owe to clay . he was just plain fun to work with .i will miss him very much. So much knowledge and a good man gone way too soon . I hope the big guy needs some cool parts made he now has the right man .
Really sorry for your loss. It's obvious he was a big part of your life. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Great guy awesome fabticator and Master Machinist -- Clay set me up with his air cleaners for my Deuce roadster. Godspeed Clay. Condolences to family and friends. I will miss checking in on his current masterpieces.
Don't let his talent pass with you. Find a car crazy young buck and teach him so that the craft stays alive. Since I have arrived at the short end of the stick of life, I have been helping my youngest son to take over from me the day I start pushing up daisies. All the reports of his work tell me it is a great investment and will give many people great dividends in the future. Most of the people I learned from are long gone, so it is double good so see my son carry it forward.
