Walt Prey - Feb. 12, 1947 - Dec. 24, 2011

Lyle Spiegel:
When I lived in Woodland Hills I first met Walt at Supelveda field. Walt lived very close to me  and we frequently ran into each other in early evening when i went grocery shopping at neighborhood supermarket ( Pavilions at Victory Blvd & Vally Circle) and Walt was also shopping. I knew he was there when I saw his '57 Chevy Nomad wagon parked out front. We would hang out and chat for a little while and talk about airplanes. In addition to his "Outlaw" he had a magnificent Thunderbird ( I have photo of it) and another plane that might have been modified Windy Cardinal based on outline of the rudder. I have pic of that one also.
We lost touch when I moved out of SoCal in 2000 to return to Albany area.
I believe Walt passed in 2011.
I know Walt was very famous for his craft of doing amazing paint jobs on  custom cars and hot rods. If you google his name you can find lots more info. I know someone put up a detailed bio of his life and accomplishments.

kevin king:
Does any one have a photo of Walt's Cardinal??

John Leidle:
 I just looked at this picture I believe Walt painted...... '65 Impala looks like he use the Chevy " Evening Orchid"   lavender with other stuff added. What a masterpiece.

Walt Prey was the person who got me back into CL stunt when I returned to the hobby. I was flying RC when I met him at Sepulveda Flying Basin. His planes had killer paint jobs.
