Wife bought me the book for Christmas, almost done with part 1 of 3 "My so called life".....so far a funny, funny book, even if it's only 50% true he did some **** in his life.
I am proud to have met the man back in the mid 80s at what was then called the southern SEMA show at Speed Distributors in Atlanta. He was a hoot and if it's in that book, I "just bet" it's true. Got to meet a lot of legends then. That used to be a really good show.
In the early 80s after reading the book I called his shop looking for any of his sb chevy creations for my 68 Chevelle. His garage was on Beach st in Daytona right up the road from where I lived. The guy that answered the phone lightly laughed and said no.
What about the homogenizer he designed and built for the Dodge Omni that got 50+ miles to the gallon? I heard GM bought the patent and never produced it
read the book and enjoyed it very much, liked the parts bout being in war and later exploring south america best! ol chevy wouldnt run a bit if it wont for smokey!!
