Hot Rods Jim Rench has passed on.

Sadly Jim Rench owner of Hot Rod Stuff in Jerseyville Ill. p***ed away Sunday. He was most famous for his hand crafted grilles for not only 32 Fords but for a variety of other makes. Jim became a full time grille builder after his early retirement from Shell Oil Company. He was a craftsman who made many other parts besides grilles. He was a friend of many. He will be missed.

 

sincere sympathy goes out to his Family, friends and fans

 

. . . R I P Jim . . .

 

Sorry to hear that. He was a stand up guy. I didn't know him at all when he contacted me after my green roadster got scrunched back in '08. He offered to fix my grille free of charge just to help me get it back together. He did a perfect job and I had him do others for me after that.

 

A talented man that I am proud to say was good friend. Jim will be missed all. RIP my friend.

 

Sorry to hear, may he RIP.

 

RIP Jim

 

JIM WAS A GOOD FRIEND, RIP.
