This was a big shock for me.  I have been watching David's video tutorials on his '67 Shelby GT500 build over the last year, as I am building my own Eleanor Project.  He was a very talented builder and his contribution to this hobby will be greatly missed.  When finished, my build will be my own tribute to Mr. Thibodeau.   RIP.

I send my deepest condolences to his family and closest friends.
