Happy Birthday!

Well Walt,after reading all these birthday wishes,I am convinced that you met your calling as a ford V/8 flathead rebuilder. So the Grand ol opry will just have to wait.Ps By the time you read this,you will be 78 & a day,because Maine's weather is just like N.H.'s,and the only way you can stay warm after 9pm is in bed with the electric blanket on. Take care & again friend,happy birthday. E.P.W.

Happy Birthday, Walt!!!!....keep on celebrating 'em....Mike

Walt Dupont--Me. · 01-29-2014, 07:48 AM

You guys make it hard for a guy to forget his birthday. My wife told me this morning I'm almost 79, only 364 days to go. I said thank a lot. There is a lot of guys on this barn that deserve this long thread more than me. I really appreciate all the replys. I have to thanks Henry Ford this. I want to thank everybody. Flatheads forever. Walt

Fun Times at Walt's and Fantasy Speedway! See the engine builder. And Walt's quad-carb setup!

Walter, I didn't know it was your birthday until I logged into the "Barn".

Still working on the 34. Many more birthdays to you.

Well, I think Walt has fooled everyone here just to get more candles on his cake. If you know him and see him work you would guess maybe 55. And as far as his eye for wimmin maybe peg him at mid twenties. LOL

John, my wife just retire new yr's eve. They wouldn't believe at the SS office that she would be 66 in July. They thought she was about 45, I robbed the cradle. Age is mind over matter, if you don't mind it don't matter. Walt

Happy belated B-day Walt! My 8ba ...or should I say your 8ba in my coupe is still running perfectly! I hope I am as active as you when I reach 78! ...in 20 years!

:-)

Happy birthday from over the pond, Walt, and many happy returns.

Happy Birthday Walt! I took the liberty of ordering some sun and warm weather for you but it was on backorder. They assure me that it will ship direct to you in approx. two months, give or take. Hope you enjoy it!

JWL · 03-06-2014, 06:33 AM

Yes, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you and many of us are not far behind but probably look at your productivity with envy.

peewee2you · 03-06-2014, 02:30 PM

Walt, I am both happy and sad at the same time of your birthday? Happy for you on this great day of your birth 78yrs ago, and sad that it means that I am just getting older, lol..... but on the bright side to see you knee deep in this great passion for the love of these cars of yester year and going strong means greater things ahead.

Happy Birthday Walt, take it easy, but take it!! Peter
