Hello to all who follow hops metal signs.

I am his daughter. Genea

I am sharing this with you all on behalf of my brother sister and my self.

Hop suffered a heart attack and stroke yesterday with bleeding on the brain.

Unfortunately he did not survive.
And passed away this afternoon. With his daughter Joann by his side.

He is now at peace with the love of his life who passed away approx two months ago.

Thank you for all of your support. He was proud to share his work with you all.

Much love from the family of Hop.

1961 Apache
Well, The motor and trans got married today (they already have a little torque converter) and moved into their new home, and, as so it goes, they will get to move in and out a few times before that final day.....

Old rear engine mount has to be removed from the frame, new rear trans mount to me made and installed, and the finalizing of the front engine frame mounts to come.

Thank you for sharing,
Hop
