Default John "Chopper" Katsanis R.I.P.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I have just been informed of the death of John "Chopper" Katsanis of John's Rod and Custom, John's Rod and Custom Picnic and the Kustom Nationals. An awesome guy who had the ability to make you feel like you were the most important person at his event.
A legend of the hot rod and kustom car scene. Vale.

That's pretty sad news. His boys seem to be good blokes and will keep his name alive through their work and hopefully the continuation of the events he started. I hang out for the Picnic and Kustomnats, a highlight of each year. That's going to be one hell of a funeral procession. RIP
