Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
I saw something mentioned on Facebook from Old Sarge Customs they had a shop fire, Chris was hurt and wouldn't be turning wrenches for awhile. Now I can't find again.
If so, I pray they are all OK. Anyone have any info? Doug |

May God Himself bless his healing process. Burns are tough, maybe he has some other injury.

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
man this sucks. if there is anyone who would help ANYONE it is Chris. I mentioned I wanted to do an s10 swap and he emailed me offering plans and advice. people like that just dont exist much any longer, so I hope he has a speedy recovery and I will pray for the same.

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
Met Chris and his son Mike a little over 2 yrs ago at Brad's picnic in Springfield, Mo. Chris and his son had just finished his sons pickup and drove it down. Chris is a super nice guy, sorry that something like this has side lined him for the moment. Prayers are with him and his family during this time...Jim

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
Does anyone know what happened? I know there was a fire but did a truck catch on fire and burn him or did he get caught in a bad garage fire. I don't know that it matters how it happened. It's awful that he got hurt. My thoughts are with you Chris. Although we have never met, he has talked me through a few things on my s10 swap. Great guy always willing to lend a hand.

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
So, I have been out of touch for a few weeks dealing with my wife's brother who was in a bad car wreck (he is ok but will be in therapy for a long time learning to walk and use his hands again). I just found out about this last night and wondering if anyone has any updates. I must have talked him just the night before the fire and curious about updates other than on his Facebook page.

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
I'm a newbie here and do not know Chris. But looking at his work here on the board has helped me a lot, so I would be glad to help if there is any way I can.

Re: Skymangs...Old Sarge Customs shop fire?
I have set up a GoFundMe campaign to help Chris (AKA SKYMANGS, Ole Sarge) and his family with medical expenses. Please share this with as many people as possible. Chris was the first to help with any questions, lets see if we can help him out here: Chris Klapp, AKA: SKYMANGS, Ole Sarge

it is the link to this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=676217 he just didnt URL tag it and the forum software shortens the text link with three periods ... some links are a hundred characters long, so the embed code shortens the text you read and the URL tag hides the full link.
