Hi everyone.
I don't know if anyone here has heard of Chick Brignolo, he was the onwner of Brignolo Chassis and has been building cars and hot rods up until a few weeks ago when his battle with cancer won the final race. A little history. Chicky was a good friend of mine, he started his business here in Dedham, very close to my shop, back in the early seventies.Although he was a bit older than me, I used to hang around with him at a few of the local hot spots for hot rodders and bikers, , I often hung at his shop where he let me use some of his equipment when building wheelie bars and chassis components for my cars and bikes. I often had a chance to get real close( by close I mean sitting in and in some cases tinkering with) some famous cars that were always around. Well any ways Chicky passed last week. Some of the older guys here may remember some of his work, he built the chassis on some famous funny cars such as " The Boston Strangler", Seargenti's " Brute", " Blue Thunder" just to name a few. Here are a couple of photo's from those years.
