This is the only picture of Jim & I that I have left. Jimmy and I used to work on 1955,1956 Chevy's. We did everything together in the last 2 years of High School and after. My ex-wife threw all the pictures away that I had of us and the old cars we worked on and bought and sold.
I have had several brain tumors in the last several years and have started to really miss the great fun and times that we shared.
Jim was more than a friend he was my brother.
I might as well have lived at his house as much as I was there.
When he and I would do something wrong his dad (Jigg's) would go to the cabinet and get a large baby food jar that had rabbit s*** in it, it was marked smart pills. He would take it and place it on the table in front of us and tell us to each take a couple of them.
Needless to say it mostly worked.
Our dream was to build a Parts Store & repair shop. Best dream ever.
Jim thanks for who you were and always being a friend.
