    RIP Ron. You will be missed.

    I have loved the X sonic since I was a kid, it always looked like it was ready to blast off! Thanks to Ron for the inspiration to build what I like.

    A real gentleman and innovator....surely will miss you Ron, and condolences to the family...
     
  17. I was talking with my Dad & Uncle, and they mentioned Ron was the inventor/creator of the Fix-a-Flat in a can. Along with the financial help of Ed. (of Ed's Burrito Restaurant) Thanks guys & gals!

    I remember your dad & uncle telling me about the 1st time the saw the car at a show.Everyone was using 2x4's to get over a curb and Ron just raised his car and drove over it.RIP Ron.
     
  20. I think that is just, so cool! The lifts made it easier going up the ramps, less h***le to get up those same planks. Right next door to me, in Rialto, Ca.
