av8 Paul Paul Howard sad news

The Art of Speed show will be dedicated this year in Paul's memory. Both Chuck Vranas and Mark aka "General Gow" have submissions dedicated to Paul.

 

Wow, I just found out. Paul was one of the nicest Hot Rodders that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He will be sadly missed......RIP brother.

 

......I see Angels in AV8s with leather and chrome....swooping down from heaven to carry me home...........

 

Rip

 

That sounds like a pact to me. You are hereby committed. Let's do it!

 

Very sad day our prayers are with Paul and his family,we lost a great one!

 

I think we may be on to something here.

 

Damn. Sad, sad news.

I found out on Friday morning that we had lost Paul, this is the first time that I'm back at a computer since then.

Paul was absolutely a true hot rodder, one of the finest human beings and one of coolest guys that I've known. I feel honored that I can call him a freind. I first met Paul about eight years ago on one of his numerous trips out here to Arizona. From the get go I felt as if I had known him for years. I always looked forward to his visits here to Arizona and every time I hung out with him at Bonneville was a highlight.

After a long day on that salt, having beer with Paul on a warm night at Wendover in the parking lot of the Stateline, surounded by bitchin' hot rods and gearheads from around the world, man, that's hard to beat.

Paul's passing is a terrible loss to all who new him, to hot rodding and to the world in general. I will miss him dearly.

Holy crap!
I just talked to him at GNRS! Never met him before, he was over looking at my car & asking questions. Seemed like great guy. I went over to see his car & knew it looked famaliar, never put 2 & 2 together.

These were taken Sunday at GNRS, before the skys opened up.
What a nice guy. This saddens me.

 

Feel free to use the pics. I can send you the full size rez if you want them.

 

I will always remember racing down at Round Hill and then going for huge prime ribs at Magoni's in Somerset. My prayers are with you. Kat

 

This is really sad news - :-(
I've been studying Paul's roadster for cues on how it should be done when I build mine.
Looking through the photos on his online album is going to be a whole new experience now. He always looked like a good guy and I'm sorry I wont get a chance to get to know him in person.
Rest in Peace, Paul.

 

Paul was a cool guy.. Sad to see him gone.. Awesome car too

i was just going through all my business cards in my wallet yesterday and i came across paul's card he gave me the day i met him, it says "if it's too loud, you're too old!" across the top, with his roadster at bonneville in the middle and his contact info at the bottom. i remember the first time i met him he was a stand up guy, and as others had said, you felt like you had known him forever when you talked to him, and would go out of his way to say hi, even if he was surrounded by folks talking to him about his car, he was a one of a kind person and he's definitely missed.

RIP paul
