The Ford Barn

This has been an interesting thread for me and...I would have worded the poll questions a bit different now. I have learned that far more Barners do more than I could ever do for one reason or another.

I didn't intend for this to be an opportunity for anyone to blow their horn as some insinuated. I could have got the results I wanted just the same with just the poll results but as it was pointed out, what exactly did I mean by "doing it all"? Goes to show I have no idea what all is involved with overhauling, replacing or restoring a Model A Ford.

But I've never been afraid to ask about what I don't know. .

For me knowing very little is OK, having not the proper tools or working space is OK, having Larry close by is priceless.

Thanks for participating.............
