The Ford Barn

Gumpy · 11-03-2011, 10:21 AM

I try to help my early v8'ers problem solve and encourage...if i have extra items layin around i have often only charge postage!!

Seth Swoboda · 11-03-2011, 10:25 AM

I read the fourms first (model T, A and early V8). Then I check out the swap page (model T, A & early V8). I also check back several time as day.

Gumpy, if you have some wide five brake drums laying around, I'd be glad to pay postage!

jim1932 · 11-03-2011, 10:27 AM

I am in the Early V8 forum daily asking the silly questions tha Gumpy and Dave graciously and patiently answer. I also check the classifieds at least once a day. Once a week or so I catch up on the Model A forum since I have a 32 4 banger.

Hotrodladycrusr · 11-03-2011, 11:39 AM

I just hang out here in the early V8 forum so I can stalk Vic Piano and John, JM 32 Sedan.

Oh!!! You caught me!!!

Will you be coming down to Florida for the Billetproof show at Don Garlits in Ocala the weekend of March 17th? We’re holding the Florida “Barner’s Bash” that same weekend and we’ll be at Billetproof on Saturday the 17th. Hope to see you there.

I did read your thread regarding it, and it does sound like a blast. It all really depends on the weather. It's so tough to leave Michigan in March on a road trip without heat and defrost. Been thinking maybe I'll fly in and ride with folks with empty seats.....and no roofs.

I will see you in mid-Jan though, just not sure of the exact dates yet.

Gumpy · 11-03-2011, 12:50 PM

sorry dont have wide five brake drums around but you may want to put a request in ......the barner's are good people!!!

Sounds like a plan, there's room in the '39 Zephyr and it's still topless!!!

Gumpy · 11-04-2011, 08:34 AM

first thing in the morning i get my coffee anf go to the ford barn the first click is the NEW POSTS moniker @ the top of the page!!

Dave72dt · 11-04-2011, 08:06 PM

Used to spend most of my barn time on the early V8, especially when i was working on a 51 F3, some on the street rod. Been spending more now on the A section. Have a couple other brand trucks I'm working on and have found a good forum for those. This barn doesn't feel the same as the old barn did but I still visit regularly.

41panelmark · 11-04-2011, 10:23 PM

Love the v/8 forum! Sometimes the classifieds.

Tinker · 11-04-2011, 10:52 PM

I click on the new post button and get the feed for all threads. For me the A and early v8 stuff is the most interesting.

You can get a taste of the "old FordBarn" if you go to ChevyBarn.com and click on the non-Chevy page.

I'm with you Barry. In a way, it's like asking my father or grandfather a question and getting a real life experience answer

99.9% of the time right here on the early V8 forum.

rustynutz · 01-03-2016, 08:10 AM

First thing I do every morning after starting the computer is check the swap meet for 40-41 pickup, 62 galaxie, & 65 comet parts. Then I'll read all the new posts in the early & late forums. For me, it is an enjoyable start to each day.

I check in a couple times daily with the early V8 section. In the morning with coffee and again in the evening after supper. My 37 is my first flathead car so I have lots to learn and appreciate all the help I get here. Great bunch!!

Walt Dupont--Me. · 01-03-2016, 09:09 AM

Hit the early V8 first with my bowl of cereal and banana, try to keep the crums out of the key board, go out in the kitchen cook a couple eggs, piece off toast, cup of coffee, go back on Early V8, if I've got time check a little Model A post. Brush my three, play my guitar 15-20 min. Go out in my man cave and build flatheads by 9:00am. I'm tired. Walt
