I heard he passed away earlier today. He quit posting here a while back and posted quite a bit on the GB. A good man and a credit to the hobby. I'll toast to him later today.
RIP Swagman

That is a shame. I remember his post and creations from the Green Board. I remember his custom made tri-clamp fittings he had before any other online store.
I will raise one to him tonight.

I can't say that I know much about him but I remember the name and it seems to go back a long way. I will pour some out tonight, for sure.

Dang! He was a good dude. I still have some of his custom pieces in my kit. I'll definitely have one in his honor.

I remember the guy. Had a very "stream of consciousness" posting style, seemed like a clever guy. RIP

Gonna miss sitting in his shop listening to him talk about how to weld SS and make cool stuff for fellow brewers.
RIP Marty. Thanks for everything you did for me.

Yeah, it was a sweet car. He had some good stories about being pulled over when it was ready to roll. A lot under the hood. No tickets as I recall, whoever pulled him over appreciated it for what it was.
