For those that are coming to Zooki-melt I am building another cage like I did for Arts rig. IT will be 100% welded and ready to drop in. I will have it at the melt and we will sell tickets to raffle it off. 100% of the moneys will go to Arts Family. I am also working with my T-shirt embroidier to have some shirts made up in Memory of, again all proceeds go direct to Arts Family. What we call the signature series cage now will be sold as the NC-Z addition from now on and $100. from all cages built will be given to Arts Family.

Thats a helluva thing Scott. I'll keep an eye out for when the shirts are available and pick myself up one

Keep us posted on the shirts...I'm down for one.

Maybe you could add the raffle to an online deal as well (for those who can't get to the meet)? Very generous of you.

Scott,
Please post here when you're ready:usa:

Keep me posted on the shirts, Ill be happy to buy one.

Tshirt design idea: How about a design of the Pirate 4x4 emblem encircled with: In memory of Arthur Lilley 1972-2007. Have the shirts in orange like the color of his rig.

Great Ideal.

I could try to give a hand drawing on what it could look like, give me some time and I can have something, any suggestions can be overlooked and adapted. Art was a good guy and he deserves the best.

Thats nice man people forget but funerals cost a great deal of money as does a plot and headstone. Factor in time away from work, compounding bills, late payments, travel, all the way down to buying the young ones something nice to get their mind off of it all. It can add up to many thousands of dollars very quickly. Its hard enough to lose someone but to have to deal with the extra stress of finances at a time like that is unbearable. What Scott is doing is exactly what you can do to help the family if your wondering.

I will post up on shirts after I get back from PA. I will be leaving for the Funeral. I am going to sit with Rawlings and come up with something and or maybe use one of the banner adds the guys have already done up on zuwharrie. I am also looking into and online raffle as suggested. Sammie davis ( Greg B) Is matching funds on the cages we sell up to $500. now. I wil be ordering more DOM tomorrow as I think we are going to need it. All stage 3 stage 4 and The NC-Z series cages will have $100, going directly to Arts Wife and Kids. Along with the Shirt sales.

Moveaside, your right. Is there any contact info on handing over some cash for them. I would gladly donate this week. Just need some info.

I don't know what happend but it sounds like there was an accidental death in the family. If you need somebody to design the shirts, let me know if I can help. I think most people here have seen some of the work I've done. Here is some recent stuff in case not. Just trying to help if I can. I still would like to know if anything happend to NC Zuk. I chatted with him a few times and really liked him.

Rockrat, way to step up man. That is really nice of you.
