Hamtown Al
It is with deep regret that I inform the members here that Hamtown Al passed away on Sept. 15th.
Godspeed Al, you will be missed.

I hate hearing about losing our friends ..... hoping you'll rest peacefully, Al! Pictured BELOW is Al's rendition of a passenger car variety '36 pick-up. Appropriately, that is our own "KiWi Tony" leaning on Al's unique and well-done pick-up. Coop |

I'm sorry! I looked everywhere on the internet for YOUR picture posing with Al's masterful pick-up creation. You must not have been included for that photo session. Coop . |

Re: Hamtown Al
My comment was in no way directed at your post, I completely understand the connection AND the friendship that Tony and Al had. On the other hand if KiWinUS feels a need to shill his video then out of respect for his friend he should start a new thread. Respect, it’s as simple as that.

Re: Hamtown Al
Sorry to hear about Hamtown Al.
I remember his pickup with the passenger car sheetmetal. When I saw his name I realised I had not seen him post for a while. RIP Al. |

Re: Hamtown Al
RIP Al - he lives right across the river from me and he was one of the first car people I met when I moved to VA in ‘95. He eventually bought my red 40 ford pickup and we had many other dealings over the years. A good friend, he was always one to help out abd be a part of the solution kinda guy. We went out to the LA Roadster Show together with a group of VA guys in ‘16. As I drove my avatar out there at 70-85 mph everyone always asked what kind of flathead I was using and Al always responded with a phrase another Va rodder coined, “ a really good one!” - you will be missed my friend and I wish you God’s speed ….

The reason I mentioned the video to Coopman is because I spoke about Al in it. It’s as simple as that. In no way would I ever be so disrespectful under these circumstances no matter what anyone thinks. Sorry for any distraction from the reason for this thread. Tony.
