Been a tough week my FABO friends......Bout, my friend and fellow hot rodder for 50 years passed last Wednesday after a week long battle with pneumonia. Bout / Boutwell Customs worked on every hot rod I have owned beginning in 1971 when he repaired a paint bubble / flaw on my 69 GTX. The list is long from there finishing off with the California Flash restoration and Butch's street ride. The windshield / rear glass stainless for Red (Butch's street ride) is still at his shop for me to pick up.....must of been one of the last things he did. I stopped by his shop 3 days (?) before he went in the hospital and he did not mention it was done.
In the video below, Bout is the guy with the white beard with the dark ballcap standing to the left of the post (right above the cowl).
Rest in Peace my friend, I'll see you on the other side.
