I have been doing research on a couple vehicles, one is for Jim Holguin aka @Sanford&Son, which crossed over to the other vehicle and Mr. Pete Eastwood. Jim recommended this video which was posted about a year ago on YouTube. The common thread among living hot rod legends is the humble attitude they have. Hope you enjoy the video … @ Jim
That is the title of the video. Mr. Eastwood recalls his youth building bicycles and racing go carts … (Images from video) Jim
I've always seen him at the LARS and admired him for his knowledge and willingness to help others from a distance. At this years show I was asked by a local friend here in the northwest, @Johnny99 , that sold him some wheels and knew I go to the show every year if I would take them with me. I did and and met up with Pete at So-Cal Speed Shop. He is a genuinely nice and humble man loaded with knowledge and experience. I really enjoyed my time there and our visiting.
Pete was kind enough to let me borrow some of his smarts on a chassis thing not long ago. Good fella. -Abone.
not many chain saws around here, since there aren't many trees. It's nice to be able to hear a guy tell stories about the fun he's been having for decades.
Jim I had a minibike when I was a kid, had a kart spec. Mc-10 engine, my pals' had Clintons, Briggs and Tecumsehs on their bikes, they couldn't touch that Mac.
And I still owe you lunch! At a minimum. My only excuse, since retiring been staying close to home. Thanks again for the help. And dealing with Pete, I'll say this, he sent me the money for the wheels almost a year before he took possession, no muss, no fuss, just patiently waiting for a delivery opportunity. Thanks Pete. John
Pete is a hero and icon to lots of us, me of course included. Thanks to Mr. Eastwood for all he does.
