We lose icon and legend
Russ Meeks
Famous local car builder and hot rodding legend Russ Meeks has passed away. Russ did things that others wouldn't dream of. His tilt body roadster was revolutionary, and won the America's Most Beautiful Roadster. Right down to his last build, the Royal Crown Ford Crown Victoria, everything he touched was magic. RIP Russ. The family is hoping that folks will drive their hot rods and attend the Celebration of Life in May.
Super Chevrolet Parts. Co. Your Local Parts Expert Celebrates 45 Years!
Wow, can you believe that we have had one of the countries best Chevy parts stores right here in the Portland Metro area for the past 45 years! The Super Chevrolet Parts Co. and owner Kibby Redman are your first and only source for Camaro, Chevelle, Nova and El Camino parts and accessories! But don't be afraid to ask him about Corvette parts as well.
Starting out as a teen, selling used parts out of his parents garage, and then working in a local auto parts store (where i originally met him), he took a leap of faith in 1980 and opened his own store. During that time, Kibby has become know nationwide as one of the "go to" guys for Chevy muscle car parts, but more importantly his decades of knowledge. And if he doesn't have it it stock, he can get it for you.
Kibby's not only a tremendous resource for parts and knowledge, he is one of the most generous individuals in our hobby. He sponsors numerous events and awards annually, and it's always a pleasure to see him and one of his amazing rides at a car show. Something that unfortunately doesn't happen as much as we'd like, because he's always working.
So before you automatically think about going on line and thinking you will save money, please consider calling Kibby or stopping by his amazing shop. You'll get the right part the first time, the best advice money can buy, and you probably won't have to pay more. Congrats Kibby, we thank you for all you've done for our hobby over the past 45 years, and wish you continued success. You are a treasure in our hobby.
