He passed away a few years ago, about this time of the year.  Well, I am not 100% certain, but I am pretty sure this is his old Ranchero that he was working on when he passed.  It is surely worth more than it looks like it will be going for on ebay.  Check it out, then look at some of his old posts with pics of his car on it..I really believe this is it.  I think he would have been proud of how well it turned out.  I miss ol` Roger.

Went back and looked, and it is Rogers old car.  The same California plate that was on the rear of it in Roger's pics, is on the front bumper, though it is currently tagged in Michigan.  Glad to see it finished.

That's a nice looking ride.  Did Roger ever get to drive it?  Just curious.
I would like to thing that it is someone in his family that is offering it for sale.

Rodger was a good guy to have as a member, he had alot of input.  Wonder what the reserve is

Unless he did before he started building it, I don't think he got to drive it.  When he passed, the front end wasn't installed on it yet, though it was painted, new tires, new 351, etc.  According to his wife, they had gone out for dinner, and he ate some shellfish.  Apparently, they were bad, he got sick, went septic, and died that night.  Be careful eating those raw oysters, guys, there's a reason they say to only eat them in months containing an "R"...

Bidding ended today..last bid was 15,600. Didn't say if it met reserve.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Roger and I exchanged many emails during the build.  He did not drive it before his sudden and untimely passing.  Turned out real nice.  He would have been a happy camper!
