Re: WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?
I will be 85 in a few months time. I have restored two flathead V8 cars in the last 50 years and helped a lot of others.

Re: WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?
I will be 73 next month. Just about done doing a frame off on a 40 Ford coupe. Lot of work at that age, but good to be able to still do it. This is a cool string of information.

I've passed the 83 mark and beginning to feel it. Still have my 2 cars, but this weather has me grounded.

Re: WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?
Not the oldest but close!! 86 last month and I have 2 A's, a '32, a '33, a '34 a '48 a '54 all Fords. Also a '55 BellAire Hard top and a '58 Corvette. Also a token '36 Dodge sedan and they all run, but not much. The '48 is an F-1 that has been in the works for 12 years. I don't suppose anyone has an idea on how to contact Ian Roussel, the car builder?? He isn't too far from where I live and it would be great to have him help finish it. Probably only a dream but it's worth a try.
