RIP Rex Orr (American Sportscar Design)
I just heard the sad news, we lost a fellow hotrodder recently. Rex Orr was the founder of American Sports Car Design, makers of popular fiberglass hoods. His most popular hood to our group is the SS style hood that is found on the Year One '69 pacecar.
Rex was a cool cat, I really enjoyed hanging out with him at the various hotrod events and Year One events.
RIP Rex, you will be missed!

I really hate to hear that. I met Rex about 10 years ago at the Charlotte Autofair when I worked for Mustangs Unlimited (I had a 95 Z28 at the time), and worked with him a little more when we added his line at Year One/Next Generation. I sold LOTS of his hoods! I just ran across one of his old catalogs (96 or so), and was going to call him about a hood for my '81 Vette. RIP Rex! A good man.
