Lil' John Butera RIP

[427TJ]

I remember seeing Buttera's T sedan in Hot Rod in 1975. Then Revell made a model kit of it and it is till a great kit over 30 years later. I also remember his billet '32 three-window in HRM in about 1979-80 and I didn't care for that look even then but it was a big leap in design and craftsmanship. His son built that silver '69 Camaro (Z, I think) and it was a multi-part feature in HRM over several months. I was impressed that he rattle-canned his suspension parts in his driveway!
