Well, even though my father isn't on the forum, it is his 32 rod my brother and I are restoring to it's 50's heyday. He just clocked 93 two weeks ago and is acting as our consultant.

76 just finished a mechanical restoration on my 39 Ford coupe. All new brakes, electrical, and a fully dressed Flathead 59 engine. Intend to outlive my enemies.

Re: WHO Is the Oldest Early V8 Forum Member?
The main thing we all are still above ground. And what a great bunch of friends to enjoy the Flatheads Fords on the forum. We ALL have our problems health and so on. This is what keeps us going on. Crawing around on the floor, up and down keeps our body limber. It does me to keep me limber. Also keeps our mind young. So I got a 18 year mind and a body of a 82 year old. Don't work to well but will half to do. So keep busy on the old Fords to stay young.

Congrats on your number 93, Carl! Must be the cheez! I heard it's a good lubricator.
