Thatīs dreadful news.....lost for words...
I just went to the Australian website where he hung out but itīs having tech problems.

His Camaro was an epic always in flux build, one of the longest most detailed threads on any website.

Health problems or from stopping too quick ( like an accident )

Dan I read a lot of responses to people's posts on his facebook page, nobody is really saying, but by one guy's post I don't think it was health related.... I helped Steve out alot when he was building his car, he'd buy parts over here and have them sent to me and I'd box them up into one box and send it to him to help him save on the shipping. Just did this a few months back with some lifters. I'm very saddened by this, I'll miss talking with him on the phone and messaging him on facebook. He really was a great guy.

Upset to read this. His Camaro build was very interesting, he also used to post some other amazing pics, I believe he was an ironworker on high-rise buildings. Sounds like this was some-type bad deal they'd rather just let go.

I seem to recall him sharing the secret of those block-long burnouts, he had a line-loc plumbed backward into the rear brakes so he could block their actuation while modulating the fronts...he could have literally just drove around anywhere, doing a burnout. Hoon, yes! I salute you.

RIP Steve- always hard to hear about sudden passings.

I remember following his threads on the HR forum way back when I was in 7th grade.
