It's because of him I am in this sport/hobby. Saw him @Charlotte hot rod nationals, didn't get to talk though. My mistake.................

 

Enjoyed watching. Thanks for posting it.

 

I was surprised that it had been twenty years since he left us I enjoyed his writing, I wonder if was a fan of Tom McCahill's writing, they both had their "terms" for everything I miss both of them.

 

Thanks !!!

 

Thank You! Watching that brings back good memories.

 

Great video. Thanks.

 

Thanks for sharing this, I was thinking about Gray this past Sunday and was digging through my magazines looking for some of his editorials.

 

He was a good 'un.

 

He didn't coin the primer on a "finished" car, but he sure legitimized it! What a cool way to give the finger to the elitists!

 

Great video,,,Thanksforsharing

 

Just Excellent And Very Appreciated...

 

You guys are awesome. You give me hope for the future. Thank you for remembering the past. Rest in peace, Mr. Baskerville.
