Folks Of Interest Lost another good one today GMC BUBBA :-(

What the hell? Something in the water maybe.... He was a good guy with tons of great advice.

 

Sad indeed. RIP Jim

 

Very sad news. I first met Jim at a V8 Ford convention in Auburn, then later attended his "Spam-o-rama" cruise-ins at his Speedway shop. Last time was at the first Ohio Mile where he introduced Kentucky Bourbon Ale to our crew. (still my favorite beer!) RIP Jim ,and thank you for the great memories.

 

...always loved his posts,...R.I.P.

 

Damn man. He was a producer and not a parasite in this industry/hobby/way of life.

Funny a while back I was looking for a spare distributer for my car. It took me a while to find what I was looking for. Before I found what I was looking for I found a Bubba Distributer that I have not yet used. It is kind of an oddball and one that I cannot finish another project without. I smiled and said (out loud to no one in particular), "Damn I am glad that I found this, its a genuine Bubba."

I'll sure miss reading his posts and knowing that I can call and get whatever I need for whatever off the wall engine build I have in the works.

Good bye buddy, I'll see you on the other side.

 

OH no... Sorry to hear this. Condolences to his family. RIP. They are hoeing in our row...

 

genuine Bubba part

Big loss to this board and hobby. RIP to him and best regards to his family and loved ones.

 

Rest In Peace

 

Godspeed Jim

 

The link Petejoe posted above acted kind of glitchy when I tried to play it. This Youtube link may play better for you if you're having problems.

A visit to Bubba's (and the dog's) Garage


Thanks, Petejoe!

 

Very sad to hear this. But, I think about how many cars run only because of his advice, or with a distributor he physically put together, and that's a heck of a legacy to leave on hot rodding.

 

A lot of us will be missing Jim Linder. But our ignitions won't be "missing" if we continue to follow his advice.

 

...That's one of the most beautiful parts of this great site. Even as we miss Jim going forward, we can always read and re-read his posts and feel his presence for years to come..

 

Sad news - RIP

 

Very sad news, the passing of a legendary HAMB member.
Thank you Jim for the help you have provided to so many of us, you will be greatly missed.
Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

 

Terrible news. Such a wealth of knowledge and a great contributor to our hobby. My condolences to family and friends.

 

What a bummer but I think his health had been going down hill the last few years ,I am glad I was able to meet him at the Road Rocket Rumble a few times and had some of his spiked watermelon there.

 

Thanks for the video, that was great. Wish I'd known Jim, and Mike, too. Rest in peace, brothers.

 

Condolences to the Linder family and friends in Jim's passing. He's one of the many Hambers that contribute both in shared knowledge and the mechanical end...big loss to the Community for sure...may he rest in peace...with his legacy here helping carry the torch forward in go fast...

...another that left us far to soon...

Regards,
Stogy

 

From Scott Linder, Bubba's son:
(As posted in Facebook)|
"I can't thank everyone enough who's taken the time to leave kind words, message the family and offer support.
We're not planning on any services or visitations at this time while the family mourns and heals.
We are however planning a celebration of life. We've had a handful of people reach out to host some form of car gathering. Be patient as we decide how and when to proceed. Bubba was loved by many and he deserves a bangar when the time is right.
Much love to you all. "

 

Can't add much to what's already been said. We've lost some great ones lately, and by all accounts Jim Linder was one of them. He will be missed by many. All the best to his family and friends.

 

Very sad news indeed. May Jim RIP. Came across his posts on the Barn. If it were not for his wealth of info which he shared, there would be no way I could have rebuilt the distributor for my flathead.

 

It's so sad when good folks like Jim Linder take their final ride.
He will be greatly missed.

 

-bummed to hear this, his loss will be felt.

 

Sad news.

 

Wow so sad to hear has helped me out a few times with my distributors RIP JIM Godspeed
