Default Re: How serious are you?

I'll be 64 in two weeks. I have driven old ford trucks since my first AA stakebed at 19. Even when conditions aren't the best, I love working on the old fords even on my back in the gravel. Over the last 30 years I have fallen deeply for the flat v8s and the trucks they came in. Like many of you, I try to keep the trappings of modern life to a minimum and at least out of view. While I don't seek out old time clothes, my every day attire would not raise eyebrows in the mid 40s. In the late 60's my dad and I were glued to the Waltons and that may explain why I have ten acres on the slope of a mountain, a sawmill and have owned three AA fords along with all the v8s. This is a great thread, thanks for bringing it back!
