Godspeed Jay! You are now driving your roadster on heaven's endless highways.
Jay and I and a host of other buddies ran all over Ventura County back in '57 through '59 until I quit school and joined the army. We did our share of hot rodding back then in our '49 & 50 Ford's. Jay talks about some of it in his book; "California Hot Rodder", I am not going to say what nickname he gave me for his stories, but if you read the book and ask me nicely, I might just tell you! Jay, you redlighted - Left too early!! - jm - |
