| Yeah, 63 is just too young. I am not a fan of custom rods, but that man built some pretty awesome cars.

Just saw this posted in a Racing History group. The old Custom/Hot Rod gang has been hit hard this last week.
"Lil" John Buttera, noted drag racer and hot road builder, passed away on Sunday, March 2. John was one of the last hot rod shoestring budget racers to attempt Indianapolis. In 1987 Buttera headed up the BCV racing attempt using a year old March chassis equipped with a stock block engine; a special aluminum 'Hawk' block (designed for all acsessories to be external) equipped with Pontiac heads. While the car driven by Sammy Swindell was not fast enough to qualify, John's fellow chief mechanics were impressed by his innovations, and John was awarded the inagural Clint Brawner Mechanical Excellence Award.
