Saying good by
I want to let you guy's know it's been a pleasure swapping information over the last few years. I don't know any of you personally' but I feel like I do. You all treated me with respect and helped me with my restoration projects on my 41. I am no longer owner of a classic car, just sold my last one last week. Not able to keep them because the old body is in need repairs itself. Good luck to everyone of you. I'll keep checking back once in a while just to see what's going on,

Re: Saying good by
Even though you don't have any more old Fords you may be able to help somebody that is new to the hobby. Your knowledge is very valuable and what you know cannot always be found in a book. Keep your mind active and check in often as you are still a valued member.

Re: Saying good by
Couldn't have said it better! At 86, and having survived a total hip replacement, which meant I could no longer drive my convertible (a 1947) which I have owned for over 25 years, the time is here to place it in the hands of someone who will love and care for it as I have.

Re: Saying good by
Good luck to you older fellas. Im 75 and feel quite a bit slower than I used to be. We all have to keep going as best that we can because the alternative is not that good. Keep on here with us as it will keep your mind young. Regards, Kevin.

You may not physically have a car, but you’re like all of us, it’s in your blood, and in the back your mind all day long. Be well!

Re: Saying good by
No need to check out. Car ownership is not a prerequisite of forum membership. Just having an interest is enough. And not being a fool.

Best of luck to you no matter what you decide, but staying on the barn would certainly be an asset to the rest of us. God Bless You and Yours.

Re: Saying good by
You have to keep pushing! I know being another grumpy old man. I have seen to many of my friends just give up. it ain't good. Just my 2 cents.
I have had some serious health issues and still in much pain but the garage gets my mind off of it. Stay with us! Good Luck.

Stay tuned in just for the heck of it. Advice is free and to share your knowledge with others is a priceless gift of charity. Don't be shy.

Re: Saying good by
Check in once in a while. I have only personally met a couple of these ford psychopaths on here also. We have talked on here to most of these guys more then our neighbors over the years.
I hope your health issues improve. Rest and focus on you and yours! |

Re: Saying good by
Hey Grumpy you can still hang out. Might have to change your handle beings that you don't have any ol beauties. Buy or keep somethin just to rub or beat on. Too many quit doin what they have done all their life & just get their ticket punched.

Hang with us grumpy, you never know when someone here may need your help, or you might wind up owning another old Ford that you'll need help with.

Re: Saying good by

Hey Grump ....Since just last Monday, I have sold our '37 Coupe, our '65 Corvette Coupe, and as of just last night, our '40 Coupe is also sold. ALL THREE of our 'toy' cars are effectively gone and some of the stash is going to be offered in short order. My health has been wonky this past three years or so, so it's time. But I ain't selling my computer, and it's gonna take the wrath of Ryan to run me off from this place. I'm not understanding why no more cars should mean no more FordBarn. I wish you well. Me...I ain't goin' nowhere (I hope)! The Coopman (DD) .. |

So, thanks for remaining on Fordbarn and sharing what you know. Jim Pullen Didn't know you owned a 40. Please post a photo of it, if possible. Last edited by 19Fordy; 08-01-2021 at 02:15 PM. |

Re: Saying good by
v8: THANKS for posting the photos. You are very brave placing the 40 hood on the 37 without fear of slipping and sliding. Both cars are beauties. Now, go enjoy all the space in your garage!
