Title: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: shubees_wife on October 05, 2012, 04:37:09 am hello all!! It's been 19 months since Gary "shubee" Shubrook passed away. I am happy to tell you that I have completed two of his projects! The 67 VW bug has new seats and head liner and even a tribute to him embroidered in the back seat. As of today his 67 Chevy 2 Nova is also complete and ready for its first show on Sunday. I know many of you miss my guy but he lives on in our hearts! I miss him TONS and I hope I have made him proud. Becky.
. Pics to follow. Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: dyno don on October 05, 2012, 07:23:17 am Becky...

Am I wrong, or are the 'post' cars more rare? I'll have some Shoob '67 pics up soon to keep this thread 'kosher' ... ;) TxT Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: dyno don on October 05, 2012, 18:07:05 pm Simply Beautiful..!!

Can't believe it's been that long since he''s passed Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: AntLockyer on October 05, 2012, 19:39:50 pm The cars look great.
Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: shubees_wife on October 05, 2012, 19:51:36 pm I know ... Just starting to feel real. So funny cause when I'm looking for something I ask him to help me find it and I always do find it! Found all the inferior and exterior parts for the nova. Only had to buy a few things. To complete the car.
Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: Dyno-Don on October 05, 2012, 20:04:13 pm What a wonderful tribute and beautiful way to carry on his memory!

Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: shubees_wife on October 06, 2012, 13:44:45 pm Tom you have been such a good friend and a big help to me. I am so happy that your taking on Gary's last project- his 58 Rag top that he dearly loved and had big visions for. Thanks for being a true friend over the past 19 months!
Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: shubees_wife on October 06, 2012, 13:52:54 pm Gary had so many plates .... I keep finding more and more. He collected so many different things that I am trying to organize . Have to get someone that can spot Chevy stuff vs VW. Lol. Found some cool panel wagon and Chevy truck banks yesterday along with limited edition Chevy planes. He was just a big kid!!

Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: Frenchy Dehoux on October 06, 2012, 16:42:26 pm As long as I can remember Shubee build some of the nicest Cal Look cars when he was in DVB as well as the other club he belong too. I am happy I was able to spend some time with him at the Bug In a few years ago and we got to share some of the old pictures from the club we were in and some of the good time we had. Shubee will never be forgotten in my book great person to be around. Frenchy Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: Lee.C on October 06, 2012, 21:01:29 pm Has it been that long already :'(
I will always be thankfull to Gary for selling me most of my VDO "jet cockpit" gauge collection - They will be the crowning finish to my Cal Looker when its finally done :) Title: Re: Shubee's Legend lives on!! Post by: shubees_wife on October 08, 2012, 15:06:05 pm Update. Placed first in class on Sunday with the Nova and wish we had brought the VW bug and corvette. Lol.
