Lost a great friend/hotrodder. Help needed.

We lost Chris Adams last night to a brain aruerism. Chris was a member of the Cleveland chapter of the Rumblers CC. Many of you might have been familiar with Chris's powder blue with white flamed 49 Ford. This was obviously so unexpected and shocking.
Chris had recently pulled the motor out of his car to have some machine work done. Some of us would like to get a motor back into his car for the funeral. Unfortunetely the machine work will not be done in time. I'm looking to borrow a 56-58 Caddy 365 (I know this is more difficult than a SBC but it's what the car is set up for). If anyone knows of anyone who may have one, that runs, that we could use that would be great.
email me at koenigsmark@ppg.com if you can help.
Thanks and RIP Chris.

 

Sorry for your loss of a friend, and club brother. Wish I was able to help.

Thoughts and prayers to you from the Resurrectors CC of Cleveland.

Sorry for your loss, wish I could help. Too many hot rodders have left us too soon recently.

 

Chris will be dearly missed. A great guy, great brother and a great friend that shared our p***ion for cars. I will miss him. RIP Chris

 

Sorry to hear about this, prayers go out to all.

 

Terrible news....RIP Chris

 

WOW< so sorry for your loss. Prayer out to his family and friends. Cool car, I've seen it around. I hope you can get it to the funeral.

 

Rip chris you will be missed... It was great to have known you over the years.

 

btt

 

My prayers go out. My wife is a 14 year survivor of a cerebral aneurysm, and it changed her life forever.

 

back to the top. maybe make this a stickey!

 

just plain sad. RIP Chris!

 

I am sorry for your loss as well.

I wish I had a cad to loan you. I have a big olds that i could ***emble tonight and would if it would help but I doubt that it will fill the bill.

Just for information a stude V-8 from the 50s should be almost a bolt in if you can find one of those instead.

 

Real sad news. He drove that car all over. He will be missed in these parts.

 

Too sad, another one has left the house. Great car.

 

Way too young, wish I could help, R.I.P.

 

I too offer my condolences to you, and to his family for this tragedy.


As a side note, as it is such a short notice to find and install a engine in his car. You may consider, putting his car on a open trailer, and having it towed behind. IMO it would be just as appropriate as being driven.

Indeed very sad news. Too young to be gone. Our prayers go out to the family.

 

While I hope you are able to score an engine and get the car running in time, it sure is short notice to do something like that. The trailer idea Hellraiser suggested might be the best way to go and maybe even better, as your friend would have been the last one to ever drive the car. It might be more appropriate and respectful that way.

Sorry to hear about Chris; thoughts and prayers for his family and friends.

 

sorry for your loss and wish I was able to help

 

Thanks for all the kind words. Chris will be greatly missed.
I've also thought about the trailer idea. It may be the way to go.

 

RIP Chris. He will definitely be missed.

Does anyone know when the calling hours and funeral will be?

 

So sad - RIP

 

Prayers to the family and friends.

 

Sorry to hear this......I met Chris up in Connecticut at the Road Agents' RUMBLE...spent the better part of an afternoon in the motel parking lot shooting the **** with him.......a nice fellow and I enjoyed my short time knowing him........peace out....

Chris was a good one, I am in shock. Don't have a Caddi, let me know if I can help some other way.

 

I'd like to recommend that everyone share this information on their other forms of "social media". If any of you guys have a Facebook account, or any of that stuff, it may help the word spread quicker.

My condolences for your loss, and I hope you find what you are after.
