    Wonder if that could be Kenny out of Sac Town, Cali ? There were a lot of Chevy 6's in the Thunderbolt Car Club....

    @westendofdz, good to see you back on......these are not only interesting stories and conversations. They are pretty darn heartwarming...Much of the membership here revere these Go Fast Giants of the past...some like you lived it all realtime and grew into it literally...

    I totally get the toolbox story with the Tags...I have several support boxes I used for my profession and I have always had a special drawer or space in them for items that are elevated for many reasons...

    Thanks for taking encouragement from Ryan to share your experience with Your Father, his friends and what he shared with you and how it's given you inspiration and direction around the Culture...

    We'd really enjoy that...

    No I doubt it.Kenny was SoCal and lost his life in the 50’s at El Mirage when his partner Nick Arias jr. was in Korea. Justin Arias has the replacement car that was built when Nick returned home.

    I just received a message from Justin this week. We are trying to connect the dots. Dwyane Rogers owned the Coupe with the Kenny Bigelow Russetta Tag. Bigelow died in 1951 in the 37 Chevy coupe with GMC Built 6 cylinder on the salt flats. Lost control and rolled it ten times.
    Anyone know if Rogers is still with us? When I search all I see are roadsters that Rogers owned. Nothing about a 32 five window. IMG_8180.JPG
