As I stated in an earlier post, I turned 65 a few weeks ago . Ever since I turned 60 yrs. ago, I've been thinking that "I was getting old". However, since reading this thread I have come to realize that I am just a young wippersnapper! Thanks guys - I am now more energetic & even feel younger ! - F F

Add another for 81. Age does make things more difficult and time consuming but, I can cope with that. My big problem now is the propensity to loose my tools while I am working.

Ditto that....

Put me down as 70 but I've already had a valve job. They took my heart out on Jan 10, 2019 and put an artificial Aortic valve in it. Does that make me a Resto-mod?
Still working on my "36 but at a slower speed

Add another 81. Turn 81 in Feb. Still working taking care of rentals. I mow all the yards in the summer and remove the snow in the winter. Wife wants me to unload some of my Junker's. I still want one more I told her.

Farley's34 · 03-01-2021, 09:26 AM

56 here and thankful to be able to enjoy these old Fords.

Ian NZ · 03-01-2021, 05:01 PM

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.

Larry · 03-05-2021, 07:18 AM

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.

325w · 03-05-2021, 05:09 PM

Will turn 76 in April

1934 · 03-06-2021, 06:29 AM

67 and still crawling around under the '34, (when I have to), LOL!

grumppyoldman · 03-07-2021, 08:10 PM

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

Old Redneck · 03-08-2021, 08:36 AM

Is there anyone 90 on the Form? Two are 89

Graham Freeman · 03-08-2021, 07:06 PM

Hopefully there will be a couple within a year.

moefuzz · 03-08-2021, 04:34 PM
