Ah memories. I remember a pair of Arduns sitting for sale at C-T Automotive in North Hollywood back about '59. They had done some work on them and the owner of them couldn't come up with the money. They wanted $300 and I was told I could have them for $200. Like I had $200. I drooled on those things for months.
C-T was an interesting shop. It was owned by Don Clark and Clem TeBow. They knew more about rodding than anyone else I ever met. Don ran the answer column in Hot Rod magazine for years and C-T probably turned out more 3/8 and 1/2" stroker cranks than anyone else around.
Damn, that's something I didn't want to hear. I'm glad I got to meet him and Rosie and Rick. I'm proud to have had him as a friend, RIP Johnboy
