Ron - I can't add anything to what all the other have said. All "Barners" are the benefactors of your wisdom. Thanks so much.

Thanks for being so generous with your knowledge and lifetime of experiences shared with all of us. I am always looking forward to reading your posts, especially those related to keeping the flathead current in this modern scene. I still enjoy re-reading your book occasionally.......Bob L

Hey Ron. i'll always remember a few yr,s ago you was up to my place and drove my Model A around my daughters big lawn then got out and asked if anyone timed you on that lap. We always had a good time when you was up.Have a happy birthday kid. Walt

Ol' Ron · 04-22-2016, 08:53 AM

Yes, I really enjoyed my visit. Lov that "A", what a nice driver. Say Hi to Pinky for me.
Old Henry, Yes I'd love to take that trip to Alaska with you, But for health reasons I'll have to pass on that. I knew a fellow that worked on it. Looking forward to the videos.

I have to admit there are allot of fellows that I don't reconize here, corse my memory izent what it used to be, Thanks for the wishes. And John, the best Flathead cam is an EAB!!!!

Happy Birthday to you Ron up there in Chester VT. Keeping making those mistakes, because if you are not making any, you are not learning anything new.

flathead48 · 04-22-2016, 06:55 PM

Happy Birthday and my God keep you safe and healthy

Bruce in southern OH · 04-22-2016, 07:28 PM

Happy Birthday and many more!!

GB SISSON · 04-22-2016, 11:17 PM

Ron, I love to see your smiling face when I tune in. I followed your step by step procedure on my last rod bearings and have the best oil pressure ever. Keep up the good work, and Happy Birthday!

Drbrown · 04-23-2016, 12:02 AM

Thanks for everything and keep heading toward 6000.

scooder · 04-23-2016, 12:19 PM

Don't know how I missed this!!!!!

Sorry it's late Ron, I hope you has great day doing what you wanted to do.

To say your an inspiration is an understatement, you are genuinely responsible for my passion with these engines. Yours was the first flathead book I bought. Early 90's some time, not that long been outa school. At the same Hot Rod show that I purchased your book, I traded my Model T roadster with four cylinder running gear, for a 52 Chevy!! That hiccup was fairly quickly dealt with, I traded it back for my old T. It's been Ford's ever since.
It was your book that made my go back to Fords. And I'm very pleased I did.

It's great to see your smiley face on here, as others mentioned, always makes me smile. One day I'll get over the pond, be good to meet you in person.

Again, apologies for my lateness here.
I wish you all the very best for many years to come.
Martin.

Happy Birthday Ron! As a newby I haven't done much on my truck, but you've already helped me a couple of times. Your book is truly a little gem. Thanks a million for being here and for so freely sharing your knowledge and wisdom with guys like me who have so much to learn.
