Re: 91 birthday today
Happy 91st Ol' Ron. Your wisdom on the Ford flathead engines, and
your willingness to share it with others, so they can keep those engines in fine running condition, is Priceless.  You are a gift that keeps on giving...Thankyou  .

Re: 91 birthday today
I have been in the Fordbarn a long time too, I am coming up 88 I used to talk to Shelly now and again too and was the only overseas contributor for quite a while. I have been playing around with Ford V8,s and being in the local N.Z. vintage car club for over 50 years now.

Re: 91 birthday today
Happy Birthday Ron, I hope you’re having a great day. Thanks for all your posts and your book Nostalgia. These are invaluable to those of us working alone, exploring the intricacies of rebuilding and modification of Flathead engines. You’re a gem.
Best regards, Roger |

Re: 91 birthday today
Happy Birthday Ron. I always read your posts, no matter the subject. We are all very lucky that you are so willing to share your knowledge and add a little humor along the way.
Your book is a must have for any flatheaded wrench thrower. Time for you to write another. Phil |
