I am 49. I was probably about 19 when I first took notice of Model A's.
At 26 I purchased my 31 coupe.
Looking back I wish I'd had the resources of this site to reference before buying (heck nobody I knew even had a home computer)
2 chapters into the Judging standards & it occured to me...damn...all this car needs is EVERYTHING.
Since opening an autoglass shop at 30 yrs old I've put my project on hold many times. I fact it's been a series of short, furious, bursts of action, but then always pushed into the corner after a few days as fresh business comes in the door.
I haven't devised a plan yet to finish this car before retirement, but it's on my mind constantly.
Perhaps at 50 I shall hang out a closed sign...keep paying rent...JUST work on the "A"...and run till the bank account is dry
In the meantime...this site has alot of good people who keep the spark alive & we're a lucky bunch!
The car is in front of a body shop where I worked. That was taken right after I bought her!
