    OH NO...not another. Truly a sad day indeed as i had always revered Barney for his mechanical p***ude and his contribution to our hobby.

    Barney was THE MAN - the man was a genius with engines, esp our beloved Flatheads and we have lost a TRUE LEGEND.

    I knew he was'nt well for some time and was expecting the worst. My thoughts & prayers to his family and friends, and to hot rodders the world over.

    Rest In Peace Barney....

    This is horrible news. He was probably one of the most influential hot rodders of the forties. Definitely someone I wanted to meet before he p***ed. Truly a sad day. RIP.

    People don't always know or remember where innovations come from. Barney Navarro was an innovator of the first order and will be missed in this hobby. Prayers to his family and godspeed from me also.
