    Amen Marty, disappointed that I didn't get the chance to meet him. We have similar tastes and it would have been fun to be around him I'm sure.

  9. Oh no, I didn't see that. RIP Zapato.

    Dreddybear mentioned polisher awhile back, but his profile has not been updated. His name has come up a couple times recently while I've been looking for info about polishing aluminum. He was a huge wealth of info and always willing to share it.

  24. Late last year (2017), after I brought it to his attention, Ryan was kind enough to add Member Emeritus status to the profile page of "Tommy". We miss you, Tommy, and all of the advice you were always happy to offer. 01312018.jpg 35.jpg

    C9 was a great asset! Always had good advice on a wealth of subjects. Plus he gave freely of his writings to us here on the HAMB. He is definitely missed.

    FWIW, I have his book autographed, if I remember correctly, it's from when the HAMB used to have H.A.M.B. Auctions to help support the site.

    Gary (left), with a few other HAMB peeps, at the Portland Swap Meet a few years back. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, and I really enjoyed the conversations we had. He even let me sit in his T bucket at LARS - suggested I take it for a spin, but I was afraid I might screw something up.
