Hammer, yes that's Jeff R. He considered himself the King , then sold the vette to Charlie. Jeff's partner Henry at the Washington/ Arlington biz, died of a sudden illness, and Jeff moved on to a new shop in Redondo beach. Art Levin's old place was sublet and became (the first) RPS automotive (Rick's) . Art's mom and dad lived in the same apt bldg that I did back then. Remember Nobu's supercharged malibu? That was trick. I drove up Kirkwood Dr. today and no sign of the 4WD Olds in any driveways. If Charlie's mom still lives up there , it may be parked inside a garage.
