So sorry to hear about Rick. I live in Little Rock Arkansas area. I met Rick st the Columbus Ohio all ford swap meet about 25 years ago. I was shopping for a 4 speed trans to fit my 64 Mercury comet project. I had flown to the event . I found a trans but the airline would not haul it. I had the swap folks announcing over loud speaker anyone live close to Arkansas. Rick responded . Offered to haul it back to his shop . I picked it up a few weeks later. He would not take a dime from me. Later I bought 427 heads from him. He will certainly be missed. He was one of the good guys for sure.
