<h2>Used-Car Tinkerer</h2>
Carl Hammond and Carl Max Hammond Jr. had some of their best
father-son talks while tinkering with the innards of a Mustang.<br>
<br>
"I bought one used back in '67," said the elder Mr. Hammond. It
needed parts, so I bought another — which needed parts. I bought
another and another and another."<br>
<br>
Max, who was 12, liked to tinker, too. "It wasn't long," said his
father, "before he was the leader and I was the follower."<br>
<br>
Max Hammond was also a leader in other ways. In seventh grade, he
got into trouble for contradicting his teacher.<br>
<br>
"She said a supernova was the birth of a star," Mr. Hammond
recalled. "He said it was the death of a star. He wouldn't back
off his position. He accused the teacher of getting her science
from Reader's Digest. He got his from Scientific American."<br>
<br>
Max earned a doctorate in physics and got a job doing top-secret
research. But he still preferred talking about books or cars. "He
wrote poetry," his father said. "He loved working with his hands."
He was taking a welding course and learning to weld and form
aluminum and thin metal."<br>
<br>
Less than a year before boarding Flight 175, Max Hammond, who was
37, moved to Derry, N.H. He bought a little house with a big
garage for the Mustangs. "The '65 Mustang fastback — a shell of a
body — was first on the list," Mr. Hammond said. "Next was the
Mustang convertible. He liked to learn about them and tinker with
them. But he never did finish one." <br>
