    I don't know where to start. The rod world has lost another great builder/fabricator. Mike Kacynski p***ed away on the 29th (owner of Vendetta auto fab) with his struggle with cancer. I really don't know what to say besides I lost a role model / friend / co worker. Its hard. I'm sure everyone who has met Mike he has touched all of you in some way. I just figured I would post for you that might not have know. I wish I could say more but I do not known where to start.

    Sad. Arm around your shoulder Sir. When you feel up to it later you can honour your friend by maybe showing some of us who didn't know him some of his work or perhaps sharing with us what he taught you that you will never forget. Friends live forever in our memory.

    This is a shock. I didn't know anything about the cancer. He was a really down to earth, talented guy. We seemed to hit it off with his roadster project.

    My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

    Sad for sure. I was just on the web site last week looking at his ch***is and xmembers and was going to contact him regarding a ch***is build.

    Sorry for your loss.

  13. Well he stayed true to the hotrodding until the end, he was last online here 11 days before his p***ing. I would like to think he took solace in his surfing something he obviously lived for.

    RIP This is a shock. I'd talked to him a couple of times on the phone and sold him some stuff, but we'd never met face to face.
     
  26. I'm so sorry. That's way too young. Prayers and condolences.

  29. Man was I sorry to see this post . . . he was just too dang young to be dieing like that! RIP Mike and I wish all his friends and family the very best. He's always done very nice work, was a good friend of the HAMB and I've always enjoyed his posts.

    Life can be so short -- live every day as best you can! God Speed Mike!
