Someone asked me today ,What would be doing if you weren't building those old trucks. That got me wondering about the rest of you guys. So how about it. WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING?

 

Sitting at the computer...which reminds me I gotta get off my butt and get back to the garage!

 

Working on some other type of vehicle or building fine quality high end furniture for customers or the house .

 

More of this

 

Being Grandpa takes up a lot of my time.

 

doing what i am doing now .... vegging as work , and the injuries to my foot just seemingly take so much outta me anymore ........ it would help with the energy levels if i could lose the 30 pounds i put on while i had to stay off my foot .................. IT SUCKS GETTING OLD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

If I hadn't bought my Grandpa's truck in 1977 I wouldn't have an appreciation for old Ford Trucks....

So I'd probably wish I had kept one of my old cars to drive around.

 

My 53 that I drove daily for 8 years has been sidelined for the moment so that I can work on the remodel of the house we are living in. Hopefully I can finish the house in the next year or so.

 

I'd probably have about 100 bee hives - and make a full perimeter line of them around the house. But since they cost about $400 apiece (including the bees) it's less expensive to work on old trucks. And I do like some of my neighbors - that many bees would probably make them uncomfortable....

 

I would be on here more looking and wishing.

 

Spending money on the other big hobby - photography, some of which involves photographing other people's car projects. More satisfying when its your own.

 

I will always be building something, if not an old truck then an old car..started with building crazy home made bicycles when I was in grade school. Its in the blood.

 

Tinkering on SOMETHING. Can't help it.

Back injury..........and OLD'ness keeps me off the motorcycles, mountain bikes, rock crawlers, snow and water skis and all the other stuff I used to enjoy. I also enjoy photography but still having difficulty moving on from FILM.

Over did it the other day and was back to a walker for the weekend. I still can't stop. If I ever end up in a wheel chair it will be a BAD *** wheel chair.

Like Dave said, it IS in the blood.

 

I would prob WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING? ably be building a boat or something, maybe even on of those tear drop trailers.... I don't know, ? I would have to be making something, I have already built all the flower beds my dear hunny is going to need. I don't golf anymore, ( toasted neck and back bones)....I haven't fished in a while. Dag nabit, I'm going back out to look at and daydream and may be do some more of that nasty sanding and stuff.... I need this truck built so I can go pull that boat and go fishing.

 

If I didn't have my auto projects, I'd be parking my daily driver in the garage. And if I didn't have the 48, I probably would have kept my Ranger.

I have several home improvement projects on my mind. I suppose I'd be spending more time working on those.
