Inliners International Forums General Discussion Bench racing Lil Jonn Buttera passes away

More sad news in the hot rod world. Famous inovator-fabricator John Buttera passed away this weekend. This mans tallent and vision shaped the way I have aproached and fabricated all the projects I have built in my life. As a gifted adolesent in the early 80s his work was worshiped by me and showed what true craftsmanship was. He will be missed.

God is calling in the talent !! Boyd and now Lil John.. He must have one hell of a project in mind.....SCRAP

It must be something in the air. lil John was a great friend to Boyd. Perhaps the shock was too great. John Buttera like Boyd and Big Daddy were leaders in the HodRod/Custom car field. We can never get them back. Only enjoy their fruits of labor and memories and incorporate that true "Hotrod" spirit in our hobby and lives.
