Default Terrible news regarding a forum member

Tony Barnhill (Autoist) passed away in an auto accident this week.

Many of us have followed Tony's C3 Restomod project here.

Here is a link to the local TV station that reported his passing. Mr. Barnhill will be greatly missed by many.

Please keep his wife in your prayers as she is apparently still in bad condition in the hospital.

Godspeed Autoist

Oh no. So sorry to read about Tony Barnhill. Looks like he was a well respected member of not only his local community but ours as well.

Thanks to CTVette78 for the update. What a doggone shame.

RIP.

Sad to hear this. It's always tough when someone you "know" passes.

BTW--link did not work.

That sucks! I remember when he joined back in April and just getting into his first Corvette. Had 20 MG's in his barn but wanted a Corvette to start modding. Nice guy. Bummer...

Our prayers to him and his family. I remember reading his thread about it being his first Vette. May he rest in peace.
