Now we know the winner Ol'Carl so the question is what's he win?

Well, even though my father isn't on the forum, it is his 32 rod my brother and I are restoring to it's 50's heyday. He just clocked 93 two weeks ago and is acting as our consultant.

76 just finished a mechanical restoration on my 39 Ford coupe. All new brakes, electrical, and a fully dressed Flathead 59 engine. Intend to outlive my enemies.

Cool Hand Lurker · 04-22-2022, 10:34 AM

83, got the aches and pains of a world class athlete

I might possibly be the youngest new member here at 24.

dono50 · 04-25-2022, 10:21 PM

82 and still restoring. My first car was a 41 Chevy club coupe. My first real car was a 49 Ford sedan.

These days, I think this may be of more importance.

The main thing we all are still above ground. And what a great bunch of friends to enjoy the Flatheads Fords on the forum. We ALL have our problems health and so on. This is what keeps us going on. Crawing around on the floor, up and down keeps our body limber. It does me to keep me limber. Also keeps our mind young. So I got a 18 year mind and a body of a 82 year old. Don't work to well but will half to do. So keep busy on the old Fords to stay young.

bo8109b · 04-26-2022, 12:43 PM

I'm the oldest. Turned 93 yesterday. Still messing with a couple of old Fords.

Zeke3 · 04-26-2022, 01:14 PM

Happy Birthday and many more. Keep on enjoying those old Fords bo8109b.

A youngster by today's age standards!

The 5th resto? No doubt there'll be a 6th, 7th . . . . .

Congrats on your number 93, Carl! Must be the cheez! I heard it's a good lubricator.
