Default The passing of another legend, Bill Thomas

Received word this afernoon that Bill Thomas passed away. With his shop in CA. connected with Nickey in Chicago, he produced and sold many hi-po cars and parts. If it were not for Bill shoe horning a BBC into a Camaro all may have been small blocks.

Ford had Holman-Moody......Chevrolet had Bill Thomas. A great man with a storied career......always would have loved to have met him. Rest in Peace Mr. Thomas, I'll always carry your sticker on my car.
