The design is pretty simple and could readily be recreated, I’m sure.
So that’s where Gus Bostrom is now. I knew him back in the 1980’s-1990’s when his shop was in Los Angeles. Word on the street was that he was fronting for David Rago. Once, I was driving from LA to Kentucky and stopped to get gas somewhere in rural Oklahoma and Gus and I pulled up to adjacent pumps at the same time. What are the odds?
