    Well, I know I should have posted this a few days ago but I have been so tore up with it. On December 19th We lost one of my great friends, a loving family member and a HAMB Lurker! Christopher Michael Marks (Bustdknuckl on here) passed away on that early Friday Morning after he lost control of his 1963 Chevy Nova, the car was a pro street 650 horse power hot rod that Chris put every bit of his time and money into, it was his baby!

    Chris was one of my only really good friends who you could count on helping you with anything you needed! He was a great friend of the Vaca Villains and a huge historian the old times of Hot Rodding!

    A Few years ago Chris was working on call while he was employed at Les Schwabb and he was crushed by a 32 ton Tractor leaving him Paralized and in a wheel chair the rest of his life. Chris' Nova was fully Equiped with Hand Controls so he could drive it just like he always dreamed of! He had his local shop here in my home town where we worked all hours of the day and night to keep everyones cars on full spin and rolling the way they should!

    I just wanted to inform you all, some of you knew him, some of you didn't. It is a great loss to all of us and a sad holiday season!

    We are planning a HUGE Car show at the local Maaco here in town, I am putting the show together and am also accepting donations of anykind to help with the show!

    RIP CHRIS! We Love You Brother!!

    Earlier today, in the Christmas rush traffic, I had to stop for a Funeral prosession. Kinda reminded me that during this season, we often overlook why we celebrate in the first place. I got back to the shop and called every contact that helped me out this year with my business...some may not be here next year.<p> Best wishes to all involved !<p> Sorry.
