The Ford Barn

tinman080 · 05-27-2018, 02:46 AM

As a retired 45 year career auto body repairman, painter, mechanic, with 6 years in the Air Force as a 431 aircraft maintenance guy I have been savaged on this site by a couple of ''groups'' on here. My hobby is not restoring existing cars, I build my own from the frame on up. Suits me, I do it to relax. I'm a solitary kind of guy. I use LOTS of Ford bits and pieces so the Ford Barn interests me. I don't think I've ever asked a question about building or maintaining a vehicle. I have presented a few instances of what I have used Ford pieces for in my applications in a couple of threads and have not been well received at all. So the presentation of a non-answer or reference to a source not everyone is privy to has a tendency to sour me on that person's future posts. A website can die the Death of a Thousand cuts delivered by only 3 or 4 ''experts''.
