Finishing an important task or project on one my cars, primarily, but other projects, too. Doing just about anything with my wife.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Family. then fords :)

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Family and Fords together is the best. Big smile this afternoon watching my wife take off in her 1934 Ford pickup (barn truck) to get some special hay for a sick horse. My toys have to earn their keep. So far they owe me big time.

Happiness is 2 fords

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

If happiness is two Fords, what's five Fords? Misery? :D

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Coming home a few weeks ago from a crappy day and finding these in the mail, and no bills:D:D

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Casting the winning bid on another Ford :)

75mph on a 90 degree day and not overheating. I'll let you know when I get there.

sorry guys

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Frank, I'm going to get serious for a moment. IIRC, your car has overdrive and 3.78's. Are you saying that it starts to over heat at 75 on a 90 degree day in OD? My car (with no OD and 3.55's) runs 10 degrees hotter at 75 than it does normally. I was expecting that installing an overdrive transmission would solve that problem. Am I barking up the wrong tree here?

Happiness is : Just waking up alive and being able to get around well in old age.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

3 ( and counting ) old Fords !

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Knowing that every '34 I own needs a little something, but not giving a sh*t about how fast I get them done. That is what I worked all those years of overtime and weekends for.
I am retired and do everything on my terms.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

I like your attitude. Tomorrow is supposed to be one of the last real nice days up here. I think I'll take my car for a nice long cruise rather than working on it.

Thanks for the suggestion.:)

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Seeing antique classic cars in your garage is the greatest. These old cars have such class that no modern car can ever measure up to. Todays kids have really missed out.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Having a community of generous experts. Eager to aid where possible.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

I'm 39 years old, when I drive around town in a V8 Ford I get lots of waves and compliments, some from teenage folks. Two weeks ago I got a young lady to shout out "I like your car!" while she was driving by at a stop sign. They do have classy looks.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

A healthy safe family and a flathead in the garage.

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

..... an extra good crack-free block.;)

Re: Happiness Is.....
 

Taking a ride with the bride on the back roads of southwest NH to see the foliage, eat a great meal and enjoy the sound of the flathead going through the gears.....and getting excited about installing the newly arrived Mitchell.

Learning that others think you’ve done a good job restoring your car.

Greg says those 12 words for all of us. I love the months and months alone in the garage with my country music and my bottle of beer after work, but there's something about a fellow 'car guy' recognizing what it took.
