Was kicking back watching re-runs on TV. First checked out the Biker Build-Off with the Detroit Bros. vs. Russell Mitchell. It was Mitchell's trike & the Detroit Bros. "Revenge" chop (SWEET chop!)
Then it was Monstrosity Garage, an installment I'd seen before with the Old School car customizers, EXCELLENT episode.
At least 10-11 yrs. ago, I was gassing up at a station in the Phoenix area & saw this BEAUTIFUL Cadillac at the pump, owner wasn't around. Walked over to admire & check it out when I see this older guy walking over & I thought to myself "No way". Well, it was "Yes way" & the guy turned out to be Bill "the Lead Slinger" Hines! Thing is, I didn't even know who he was at the time & had recognized him the first time I'd seen this program on TV.
He was just as you've seen him, down to earth, modest, casual. When I asked him if it was his car, he replied "I built it". Apparently, he'd just finished it for a customer & had driven it to Phoenix to deliver it in person. Dang, had been chatting with a legend & didn't even know it :wink:
