He was a talented body man with a gift for paint techniques, too. Later he found a way to keep going building "stuff" for Hollywood, but it was always high quality "stuff" that served a purpose. RIP, George.Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thanks for posting Scooter, I hadn't seen it yet .
I doubt if there are too many people on this forum that he didn't influence in some form or another.
.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

If George lived to be nearly 90, then lead can't be THAT bad for you.

Well, that explains why he wasn't at SEMA this year............another one moves on.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.
Thanks guys! One more trip around the sun completed. Lots of blessings and things to be thankful for (like still being able to type this message!!) Here's to us "over 70 guys.." Glenn
