    It is with a heavy heart that I must report that @modifieddriver Frank Hager, passed on last night to the great racetrack where he can race modifieds , wrench on race cars and hot rods whenever he wants, and attend as many swap meets as he can, wisecracking with everyone but also sharing his vast knowledge of early Fords and most other vehicles. Frankie four fingers will continue to"screw the other guy and pass the savings on to you" where ever he is. RIP Frank, and thanks for taking over the "HAMB Village" at the Charlotte Auto Fair and sharing it with us.

    I bought some parts from Frank few years ago. At the time he had just brought home a fresh haul of 39/40 Sedans and a bunch of 34 Ford stock parts.

    He could tell stories for hours about the good ol days

    He was very gracious and we spent the better part of the day touring his garage and talking about all his projects.

    Fantastic guy!!!! RIP my friend.

    That sucks for sure, he was a neat 'ol fella. The frame under my '36 came from him.

    Robert = thank you for all the pictures of Frank and his racecars. He was a racer's racer and could tell you stories endlessly. Once he moved to what he called Moonville USA (S Carolina) for his tire development and testing work, he made a whole new passel of friends, and attracted old NE racers like Pete Silva and John Birosh during our large Charlotte swap meet twice a year.
