71 with too many projects

, but it’s what keeps me interested, motivated & at least feeling young! I don’t think the mind recognizes age but the body does remind us

I'm 77 and enjoying winter in Florida for the first time in many years !First old Ford was a 37 coupe that I sold when I went into the Army ! I have back problems but overall health is excellent! Still working on a 40 convertible, can't wait to be back in Maine in April !

pistonbroke · 02-24-2021, 09:57 AM

I'm only 60 My first was a 42 pickup with a 53 mercury under the hood. Back then that was the ugliest truck to all my buddies . And now they all want one. Proof that things do look better with time, like all of us.

Planojc · 02-24-2021, 10:05 AM

I'm 78 and need to live to 100, just to get caught up on my car projects.

D. Jones · 02-24-2021, 10:08 AM

Man! I didn't realize I was hanging out with a bunch of old guys. I'm a lot younger (25) but, unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, I have 50 years of experience at being 25. My wife says I can't stay 25 because we have a 22 year old granddaughter. I just say "that's her problem".

Keep them Fords purring.
