The Ford Barn

Personally I think your age has to come into play here. I, myself may have to make this decision in the spring. I am presently going thru an infected hip revision (orig oper was 8-7-13, new hip 12-6-13) and the going is slow. Much muscle tissue was removed from left leg due to pseudo tumors. The recovery is going much slower than the 1st time about 9 yrs ago. Now the question becomes will I be able to get into my tudor and operate the clutch, perform maintainance and crawl under it OR do I need to look for something with bigger doors and more seat room (there goes the T bucket) or get into something even newer that a fat ford but distinctly different??
There's plenty of A AND flathead knowledge here on the board and plenty of flathead body and mech parts avail. JMO FWIW
