The Ford Barn

Walter Ezzell · 05-21-2016, 08:26 PM

You people on Ford Barn need to be told "Thank You" so that you know someone appreciates all you do. A couple of years ago I needed a starter support bracket for my 39 Coupe. Low and behold some guy in Canada sends me one, no actually he sent me 2 of them and no charge whatsoever. He even paid the shipping. How is that for helping another person out? I posted last week that I was looking for a bearing that was not for a V8 but for a cart for a hit and miss engine. I got offers of help and suggestions from 10 different people. How is that for helping another person out? These two stories are not the only success that I have had but they stick out somewhat and I know that there are some people who are not always on the up and up but for the most part the world does have some good people left and to me it seems that the old car buffs are on top of the list for being willing to help others when needed. For that I just wanted to say Thank you out loud and may God bless all of you as much as he has blessed me.

My view is that the majority of people are good and many are great. It's still nice to hear stories such as these. There are many talented and generous people on FB, where helping others out is part of the motivation.

Yes FB= Ford Barn. Thanks 325w!

Mhsprecher means Ford Barn not face book. Lots of good people here.

In most cases Ford Barn is better than any manual.
Very informed people with great experiences and always sharing them.

Several years ago I met a fellow from Canada at the Stowe, Vt. show looking for a rear window trim ring for a 35 PU. I asked for his address and sent it up to him no charge. A little thank you would have been nice but never heard from him again ! Most are great but some others ? Well what can ya say.
