    Haven't heard anything about Paul for a long time. Last time we talked was at the LARS just before Covid. I believe he was having health problems then. Update please.

  4. Paul, unfortunately, passed away late June 2023. He had fought with cancer, but lost the battle. A great guy, we got together few times, in different places, over the years.

    Sorry about Paul. He was a real talent and a nice guy. He did 75% of the chop on my Avatar 45+ years ago. Everything but some finish welding.

    I saw that roadster and met him about 30 (?) years ago in Des Moines. Can’t remember if it was a GoodGuys or NSRA event. He showed me where he had welded together all the puzzle pieces. And explained how real roadster owners have scars on the underside of their left arm.
