Gene was in an episode of Wheeler Dealers which had a re-run here a few weeks ago.

I hope Gene is comfortable and not suffering.

He has passed, just today I believe RIP

IIRC

Gene,
He was on Vegas Rat-rods show did a 32 3 window, a couple years ago
brought them a 32 door & he helped & did a 4" (?) chop in record time,
with the help of Steve's 'Weld-r-up' crew

Gene,
he was also on Iron Resurrection a couple seasons ago too
did or advised on a 41 Dodge (Business Coupe) one of the more difficult ones
& a 49-50-51 (?) Merc, with them guys a bit later too

I saw him on Fast & Loud (Gas Monkey Garage) even

He made a few appearances (not work) on OverHaulin' IIRC too

I was just thinking about him as I was driving today. Thinking about doing a rt 66 trip and stopping by his shop as a detour. Then I read he passed. Sad. He lived a good life. I want to accomplish half of what he did. RIP

R.I.P. Gene. In the 70's I repainted one of his custom creations. The "Manufacturers Hanover's Anycar" used for an ad campaign.

RIP Gene,another automotive legend gone. Unfortunately for the rest of us,Gene takes decades of knowledge with him! He often shared as much of his talents with others. You will surely be missed in the automotive world!
