RIP 79Big10

Brandon was an original member from 2002 and was well known years ago on this forum. I wanted to let y'all know that he passed away unexpectedly this last weekend. He had everything going for him and was on top of the world. We made it a point to talk on the phone once a week. I talked to him the day he died in his sleep. Services are in Wichita Falls this Friday

Great man, a gentle giant. Never met him on person, but were FB friends and I enjoyed keeping up with him. I remember his truck, Tootsie Roll. RIP.

Re: RIP 79Big10

Was completely shocked Sunday morning when I saw that.
Glad I reconnected with him on FB a few years ago but sad we didn't get to hang out again . 18 years ago we had a little local get together of forum members, he drove up from Wichita Falls and spent most of the day helping me install new exhaust on my truck.
A cruise by we did that day and ended up getting the cops called on us. Brandon's was the poo brown one..

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
