It is true, Garner passed away last year. He was 38. I'm sorry to have to tell your community, it looks as though he was a pretty active member here
Garner was a teacher/friend of mine in Boone NC at ASU. I was building my very first motorcycle when he was hanging around, giving me grief and tips :cool:

Anyhow, the Suby is now in the hands of a good friend, who is slowly taking great efforts to make it come back to life. He's not a major car guy, but he is learning. I posted it up on Pirate to see if anyone knew of anything about the car. It's great to see Garner was a member here, and find some history on this really sweet machine.
I helped my friend move his shop this past week, and the Brat was sitting there, and I got to see it up close for a brief bit. I knew I had to find more about it, it wasn't just a haphazardly assembled machine, but something someone really loved.
I will try to keep more updates on the car for you folks, and it's resurrection.
