Curious about Bill Hayes

Hey guys, he was a fabricator in the 70s. Had a business called Auto Weld. Wondering if he's still around, and was he based in NJ or NC? Doing research on a car.

I remember him. He did some stuff for me in the 1970's. His shop was in Paterson, N.J..

Thank you Billy!

How would you think he'd be now, any idea if he's still around? We are researching a car.

I doubt it. He would probably be well into his 80's.
Ya know, if you've ever heard of an engine builder named Bill Cerelli, I think Hayes's shop was somewhere near Cerelli's shop. He might know something

I talked to Bill Ceralli and he said Bill Hayes passed a long time ago. Thanks again for the lead Billy.
