AME (Art Morrison Enterprises) is local-the whole manufacturing facility is just North of Tacoma about 30 minutes south of Seattle. Art had a nice little business basically making drag chassis bits, back-half narrow kits, lightweight front IFS stubs, etc. Craig was apparently the visionary who saw the fully engineered chassis for specific postwar cars being viable. I'd consider him the godfather of that whole industry that is now firmly established. I texted a friend who was close with him to confirm, and he did-he said yesterday was hard. He just said Craig was one of the good guys, and he was glad to have known him. I don't think I ever heard a bad word spoken about the guy. He was just 44-leaves a family and a father who probably was feeling like the future of his family and company were set. RIP. You just cannot take the future for granted.
