John Leathers- Rest in Peace
My good friend and flathead mentor passed away yesterday .
John was a toolmaker and machinist superb whose first car was a 32 5 window coupe in about 1950. John helped me with many projects including my 34 Roadster as I was building it and making it drivable . We traveled to Oklahoma City for a Steet Rod national meet, and went to the LA Roadster show a couple of times. John knew stuff!! He will be missed in the flathead circles around North Texas and beyond. Services will be at 11:00 am Friday morning at: Aley United Methodist Church 1215 West Cedar Creek Parkway Seven Points Texas 75143 His final ride will be in his 1930 Ford Pickup that he loved. Family is requesting anyone that can bring their old cars join the procession in honor to John. The link to John’s obituary follow: http://obits.dignitymemorial.com/dig...97&mid=7753450 John was 86.

Re: John Leathers- Rest in Peace
Terrible news! I knew John when he had a 34 (or 33?) sedan in the 1980's. He was a wealth of knowledge and was really good at finding parts. He also was able to tell some really good stories about old Fords. How old was he when he passed?
