Being retired ya have to have a hobby, keeps the mind going and keeps me off the couch. And not driving the wife crazy, HAHA. I bought my 29 phaeton at an auction. I've never even ridden in an A, been working on it for over a year now. I've learned a HUGE amount, started at the rear end with the body off and worked my way forward. Plan on starting it for the first time in the next few months, with the body still off, hanging in the overhead of my shop. Hears the thing, a lot of my friends have boats, they spend thousands to buy boats, fishing gear, on and on. To catch a fish worth maybe $50.

Long story short, for me it's MENTAL health. I can focus on the A and forget about all the crazy things going on in the world. That's how my buddies justify a fish that actually costs 10's of thousands of dollars.
P.S. I am amazed at the amount of info I have learned from The Barn. Keep up the good work. One day soon I'll drive my A down the road!!
