a true inspiration..RIP Larry.

 

Never got to meet him, but I'm glad I was on this planet at the right time to enjoy his work! ~R.I.P~ and thank you for what you've given us all !!!

 

************************ U P D A T E *******************************************

Just found out from one of Larry Watsons childhood friends that the service is scheduled for July 31st at Westminster Memorial Park - Westminster California - on Beach Blvd. Technically , its Midway City. Info right now is minimal but my gut feeling is that this will be open to the public so we need to send off one of our hero's in a big way. I think it would be fitting to bring out as many finished painted customs as possible. Metalflake & Candy has got to be in the air !

 

Well, if heaven didn't have hot rods and customs, it sure will now. All the legends are being reunited. Kinda makes me excited to get up there! (if I'm allowed in...)

RIP

 

Rip

 

That's sad to hear, RIP Larry

 

SULTANS Car Club needs to be present - along with everyone else that has a nice traditional custom !

 

A few months ago I was over at Larry's and I forgot a magzine that I had done , it had a page with the Road Agent and I was gonna have Larry sign it, He said "don't worry Mike You can come over anytime, We've got lots of time". I guess I took it for granted that We did. Good bye My freind

 

Damn, Harpoon was just telling me on Sunday about visiting him in the hospital, and how bad off he was... I had no idea, so shocked to hear this- What a hero!

R.I.P.

 

RIP Mr Watson.

 

RIP one of the truly great talents.

 

WOW! Man thats a huge loss.....RIP Larry....

 

The saddest news of the year. My heartfelt thoughts & prayers to Larry's family and friends. I was hoping to get out there to record Larry's History for the HOF Legends Series...I'm truly devasted.

What a beautiful thing that would be, I hope the sun is out that day making those cars dazzle.

 

:-( What a huge loss for so many reasons. Thank you Larry for all that you did.

 

god speed larry

 

I will definitely be there in my 53. Larry will always be my hero.

 

Another artist lost, but I am sure he is happy where he is now. RIP!!!

 

He will be missed and he was a really big influence on how my car looks. When I found this spot in one of the seedier sections of town I had to take pics there just because the name on the building.... Now it's gone too...

R.I.P. a sad loss... My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.. God Bless !

 

Mr. Watson will be missed by all! A truly terrific gentleman! My thoughts and prayers. Thanks for everything you have done for us Larry!

 

ah thats so sad. imo one of the more ground breaking guys to ever lay paint on a car. sure there were scallops before larry watson, but no one laid down scallops like larry. he took that shit to a whole nother level.

Very sad.. Richie Valles and I were talking Saturday night about going out to see him this week.

 

man..... sorry.

 

There's one reason why you would copy someones paintjobs.........Cause they're THAT GOOD!!!!!!
He sure set the trends....RIP Spraymaster!!!!

<Met him as a kid,but didn't know who he was til I got a little older. He painted my older brother's '58 Impala. Met him again while he and Roger O'dell were talking at Mastersons "Barris Fire" get together. Seemed like a real nice guy. His only words he ever said to me was " Get that interior done son!". Wish I could have known him better...
