RIP Ed Iskenderian

Hot rodders and drag racers have lost a gear one, camfather Ed Iskenderian past away on feb 4th at age 104.

as a old timer in hot rodding i had one of his 3/4 race grinds in the merc 8CA that sat in my very first car a 1950 ford crestliner, later much more radical grinds from his shop in my FE powered gasser.

How sad, but 104 is awesome! I have an Isky cam in my 76 daily driver. Just under 80k on the cam! 👍
