    Fabian (Ethelkilledfred) texted me early this morning.

    We can either cry and talk of an end of an era, or continue the work he fought for his whole life. I choose the latter.

                  RIP Big Willie. He is with Tomiko now. He died from a broken heart that could not be fixed.

                      Here is one of his cars that made it to my area a couple of years ago.
                      One of my friends said he talked to Big Willie for about 30 mins a year or so ago and said he was a very nice person!

                        I wasn't going to reply, did not know of his existence until bangshift.

                        A hot rod is more of a rat rod and bits and pieces of anything that works.

                        that never gains a cult leader.

                        being in that time frame, big engines, turmoil of poltitics, he worked a good thing. Not many stand up.

                        the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.
