Psychographic Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 2017 is not starting off so well. http://bangshift.com/general-news/hot-rodding-icon-pete-chapouris-has-died/
o-man Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 2017 is sucking big time. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends
tim boyd Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Yikes.....I read about this on another web site this morning and hoped it was an unsubstantiated rumor. I didn't know Pete well, but the very few times I had chats with him (some related to my career responsibilities, others just about hot rodding in general), he was every bit the gentleman -and the visionary - that this article suggests. Very sad......TIM
keyser Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 RIP Pete. Amazing guy, creator. Loved his stuff since I was a kid.
Daddyfink Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 I was lucky enough to meet him and talk to him for a bit. Really nice and generous with his time. The Hot Rod Community is feeling this loss Vaya Con Dios
1972coronet Posted January 7, 2017 Posted January 7, 2017 Already ?? Come on !! Not even a full-week into the year ...( Certainly, I'm not the only one whom noticed the rare Autolite Inline 4 Barrel on that SBF! )
58 Impala Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Sad day for Hot Rodding, I always loved the iconic "California Kid". RIP Pete.

Misha Posted January 9, 2017 Posted January 9, 2017 Sad news for the Hot Rod community... Treasure my copy of the film The California Kid autographed by Pete Chapouris that I picked up at the SoCal shop in Phoenix.Misha
samdiego Posted January 13, 2017 Posted January 13, 2017 Didn't see this before I posted the same. Just read in the new Street Rodder that Richard Zocchi has left us as well
