Re: Jack Arct
I was very sorry to read of Jack's passing. I was marveling at the quality of my wood rimmed wheel throughout my trip to Lime Rock this weekend and read this post when I got home. Jack was a true craftsman and I am proud to have his name on my wheel.

Re: Jack Arct
I'm saddened to read about the passing of Jack Arct. I never actually met him but corresponded with him via email on several occasions. He was also the "go to guy" for sun visor restorations. He was an "old school" kind a guy who would restore your visors, send them to you with a invoice for payment. May he rest in peace.

Re: Jack Arct
I also am sad to learn of his passing. He did a great job restoring my VDM wheel ten years ago.
