At 42 I'm just glad I'm not the youngest!! This 'hobby' means a lot to all of us!! We are all just caretakers for the next 'owner' Hopefully they feel the same way.

64 in Nov. mind feels like 20, body feels like 70.

Age 76; will be 77 in July.

Car #1 bought at age 15 for $60. A 4-door '48 Ford with no reverse gear and a leaking radiator. It worked. It went forward. What fun ! I slept with a flash light and a Clinton's Auto Repair Manual under my pillow. I painted it with a home vacuum accessory sprayer bottle.

Car #2 was 4-Door 1932 Plymouth fresh out of a barn with only 1000 original miles on it. A beauty - chromed spring-steel bumpers, chrome Lady flying on the radiator cap, big chrome eye-balls on the front, shiny dark blue body, black cloth top, black fenders, wide running/foot boards, yellow pin striping, yellow wire rims, plate glass, broad cloth interior, no heater or radio, foot rest bar in back, no trunk, spare on outside-back, up-draft carborator, babbit bearings, juice brakes. Talk about all original ! Ran good and strong. Never needed repairs. Had a big-bore powerful 4 banger. Milled the head a little and welded a dual exhaust on the exh manifold. Sounded good and nasty. Showed its back side to many a '51-52 Ford and Merc off the line too.

In here for a last round in a lovely restored '47 maroon coupe. Wish I had that '32 Plymouth tranny and diff in it tho - excellent combo of gear ratios.

At 76 its easy to digress. Dan

I just turned 50 January 25th. Loving every minute of it. Most of my friends are between 60 and 90. Its all good.

I just turned 36, but I'd say the average age of most of the people I hang with is 60-75.
