He will be missed. Many of us accumulate a lot of knowledge on these cars over the years but for one reason or another don't share it with the less experienced among us. Gus68 was not one of those people, always taking the time to share knowledge and help out when he could. I for one will miss that. Hope he's in Firebird heaven.

OMG that's to bad... What a freakin year. My best bud's wife only 53 yr old passed from heart failure last thursday. A few relatives and friends prior to that. Brian was a pretty good guy, he will be missed. We talked quite a bit about his car as he bought it from the guy right before I inquired about it. He was always willing to share advice and thoughts. How did he fall- does anyone know?

The last I talked to him he said he was starting to have trouble doing the work on his car because of it. He was actually considering selling it. He went back and forth . This year blows.

We now have at least 2 members who have passed, which actually are still rank in the To Posters of all time (a testament of their contribution). Too bad we don't have a tribute area on the forum layout.
