    There is a good read about him in the #32 issue of Rodder's Journal. it's with the coverage of the Osgood roadster. From what I read there it sounds like a book could be written about him.

    A book SHOULD be written about him, an absoute artist with metal. I think that article was the one that pointed out he fashioned the Eddie Dye roadster nose too. What a craftsman.

    Hey Zach,

    I think the Hop UP article had pictures of the grill shell in bare metal,
    with weld seams. Or.....it could jus' be the fumes!
