Gator Gaydos, God Speed ol' Buddy...

04 02 13 - 19:58


Detroit lost an kool-as-hell artist, historian, & hot rod mentor last weekend, when Mike "Gator" Gaydos passed away on Saturday morning. Gator was a crazy young biker, a hot rod hooligan, a pinstriper & monster artist, but mostly Gator was a kind hearted gent that seemed to help everybody.

Gator worked at Hollywood Automotive's stores in the 60's & 70's for my Uncle Fred & his partner Norm. I 1st met him at the Dearborn store as a kid tagging along with my Dad's trips to get parts. When Hollywood closed, my family lost touch with the guys that worked there.

I re-met Gator when I was searching for photos & memorabilia from the Hollywood stores. Gator offered to let us Singlefinger bums scan images of the hot rodding scene in Detroit from his personal collection, which we posted as a video at Autorama for everyone to enjoy. Like MANY others, the Singlefinger Crew will miss him.

As Gator always said, "Keep your flame lit!"

The iPad Air 3 is rumored to have 3GB of RAM or even 4GB because Apple recently introduced 64-bit support for its devices. Some Android devices do have a 64-bit processor but only have 2 or 3GBs of RAM.
