Default Rest In Peace Don Babb

I was advised this morning that Don Babb passed away this past weekend.

Don crafted 1934 Ford roadster bodies in the 90’s and also Model A roadster bodies as well.

My roadster Body was made by Don. He knew stuff!

Don was a good guy. I remember back in 1972 I got some 34 fenders from him and still have them on my car.

Don also made some Model A deluxe phaeton body parts that were pretty darn good!
He and I had several conversations but never met eye-to-eye.
The loss is losing another great guy and talent.
I think our hobby is getting like "the greatest generation"; losing them every day
RIP

Bought a set of his rear fenders for my 34 Coupe, bolted right on and looked perfect. Don was a cool guy, played cowboy parts in various movies. Pete/Ct.

Saw that utube video a few months ago. I think he will never be challenged with 390+ cars.
