I'm not here to take sides, but I agree 100% with what Matt said about some of the divisions between stockers and hot rodders.

We all know someone or, some here may be one of these guys, that keeping saying they will restore that old Ford "one day." Sadly, this story most often doesn't end well and "one day" never comes.

In my opinion, any old Ford that is put back on the road and running around is better than one stuck in barn somewhere rotting away for no one to enjoy.

Some of the joy of being a hot rodder is one can leave their car unfinished or keep the "patina". A lot of died in the wool stocker guys turn up their noses at such a notion.

I really hope this age old argument of stocker vs. hot rodder can be put to rest. One side is not better than the other. It's just different points of view or paths to take when looking at the same starting point.

I'm sorry to break the news to some of you, but we aren't getting any younger. Drive your car or sell it someone who will why someone still wants it. Just like Henry intended them to do.

Added this morning: While mulling over this thread, I remembered a thread that was posted on the Model A side. A few guys were complaining about the high cost of just attending Hershey if you don't live local. It seems like whenever money is involved, some people are very hard to please no matter what. LOL.
