I met him many years ago out in Glamis. His rails were state of the art when VW's were still the powerplant to have. I tried chasing him around out near Osborne Overlook and could not keep up. I think he had a 2276 or 2333 and I had my lil ole 1835. I went to his shop when I was ready to get a new rail. His prices were more than I could afford, But he was still the goto guy when you bought a rail in the early 90's. We crossed paths a few times over the years. Couldn't miss his lifted Ford with Mazzone painted on his door. Sucks that he is gone. Sounds like he went out doing what he loved. Hope it was quick and painless for him.
