Wayne Due's shop is closed
I just went to Waynes site and found the following announcement:
It is with great sorrow to announce the closing of Wayne Due's Chassis Shop. Do to unforseen circumstances beyond my control I am closing up shop.
If you have an order in with me already, I will be in contact with you. Don't worry your frame will be finished and shipped to you.
For those that feel the world is coming to an end because you didn't get your order in yet, please email me your name, address, best method of contact and what clip you are wanting. Should circumstances settle to where we can build a limited quantity or my shop hand takes over then we will contact you in order of request.
It is with the upmost sincerity that I extend to my customers, many of which have become friends, a very grateful thank you for all the years of support and admiration!
How did that happen? I would have assumed that with everyone buying his stuff for so long this would not happen.

Do any of you remember when Art Rasmussen built the first performance subframes?
He used to post on camaroz28.com, and then one day someone came on and said that he had died suddenly. At some point, Art's wife made a post thanking everyone and telling us how much Art enjoyed the website. Art always had a lot of great insight and went out of his way to help folks. It was a sad time.
Wayne was working for Art and took over the business and kept it going. Apparently, he improved upon Art's design and has continued to build a great product. It would be a shame if it had to end now. I'm betting that Wayne will find another way.

Yeah, I remember. Art posted fairly regularly at nastyz28.com (the 2nd gen site). I got to meet him a couple of times... cool guy and lots of cool stories. Wayne... I met him too. He seemed fairly quiet. He's also a damn smart fella. He'll figure it all out.
