History 1985 Kkoa leadsled spectacular Springfield Ohio

Diesel powered from Kentucky

 

The late great George West of New Concord, Kentucky. A proud member of Lincoln Land Kustoms that was every custom enthusiast's friend. He's been gone a long time, but definitely not forgotten.
His wild diesel powered Merc was #7 that we featured over on the W.E.H.T. thread. Here's a link with lots of great reading about one of the all time custom characters that ever was..........E

He gave a great interview on the 1986 Leadsled video that Doug Reed put out

 

Yeah he did. I remember the part when he tells Rowdie's gal doing the interview "I'm the dirtiest old man in this whole outfit!"
That always makes me laugh out loud. George was a real character! E

 

Hey, that's me and my dad in the rumble seat!
