Default Re: Burn victim, serial killer or ford nut?

GB -Hi from across the water in Port Townsend, WA. Spent many days in your area on our sailboat. It always makes me feel good to hear of other father/son car projects. My son lives within a 100' from me and also builds cars, trucks, golf carts etc. If he was not here my car building would have to cease as there are some things that I just cannot do anymore. Arthritis, blown shoulder. I just turned 78 and find I'm just not as limber and as strong as I used to be. lol My 24 T, 40 Ford tudor and 56 chev are done and now we just enjoy tinkering and attending as many car shows as possible. Continue to stay safe and savor the relationship you have with your son.

Thanks all! This has been a fun thread. I got out early and worked on my 47 most of the day. The sun was pretty warm in the afternoon so I sat in the bed, back against the tailgate and had a beer to toast the end in sight of this fairly difficult and all-consuming diesel conversion. Like I needed and excuse for a toast...... Great day, all in all.

Fourdy, How long you been in PT? I grew up there in the 60's and 70's, later moved back in the 2000's. Moved away again. Perhaps I've met you or your son. The only T I've seen around town was an orange bucket backed in a garage near Kuhn across from the golf course. PM me, I'd like to talk to you.

When are you going to unload that firewood off the truck?

On my avatar? That's 2 years ago firewood. Sold the 2 ton to a 26 year old arborist in Seattle. He Loves it and uses it hauling logs and limbs etc in the Seattle City Limits. The firewood was red alder and cherry and mixed with doug fir it did a good job for us,. My buddies and I meet up with Shea the arborist at Portland Swap meet in April, but not this year... Hopefully next April. Ya gotta love a 26 year old driving this truck and parallel parking it in front of his favorite bar on Lake City Way with no power steering. There is hope for the future. Oh, it has an 8ba I bought for 500 bucks and did rings and valves. Bearings plastigaged right in specs. He'll have no trouble with it.
