Yes. Rod has been on Jay Leno`s show a few times with the cars he has built and restored. I know his Dad Gary, and was fortunate enough to meet Neil when we were building John Bab****`s 40 Merc when I worked for Donn Lowe. Rod has a great Instagram feed, which works to keep up better with what he is doing....
