I just read this entire thread. I'm still waiting for the "just kidding!!!" post... But it's not coming.

Nate definately a a different vantage point, and his opinions will be missed.

I created a new user name, as I don't feel right using his. He has a 1995 s14 rolling chassis I plan on dropping a black top in. I would love to be able to build the Ka-T like he wanted, but its far over my head.

KA-T! we got you.

he's around... en route to his next lifetime, you'll probably live long enough to meet him reincarnated.

While I didn't know Nate, It seems he was a plethra of knowledge on the KA-t subject. It may be hard for you now, but believe it or not your brother and his words can still help you build a sick KA-t even after his passing. I only wish though that it wasn't always the good whom pass way to young.

I haven't been around Nico for a while and I don't post too often anymore, but it really is a shame to hear about things like this within and outside of our community of enthusiasts.

R.I.P Nate. I wish I was around to have shared in the memories you created with the board. You will be missed.

Well I had considered dropping a black top in it. I am pretty sure that he has just about everything to build it with. But somewhere a long the line he (technically) surpassed my ability. I know we have a motor laying around that was supposed to be ' the one ' and a whole plethora of parts. I will get everything together in the coming weeks and see what I come up with. Thanks again guys.-Justin

I just got his computer running and forgot to switch screen names..

man just cruising through the forums i just found out this guy passed away...what a real bummer. I remember him from when i first joined this forum as one of the OG ka-t guys that really helped everyone out with their miscellaneous problems and making some fun of the bad luck he had with his numerous ka-t's lol. But he was a very persistent and optimistic dude always jumping back when things went wrong. I can't say i knew the guy very well but I will miss this guy, ~~RIP Nate~~

So I apologize for switching screen names. It has been a crazy couple of years, and many things have changed. It took 3 years, but last week I started twisting the wrenches again on Nate's car. I will start a build thread on here in the next week. There is a thread on Ka-t that Nate had made I am making progress reports on as well. I have not been on this forum since this incident, and it was cool to see a lot of you guys come back and post after a year or so. Good group of people. The thread will be more comprehensive, but this is where I am at now.
