So at 77, this gives me hope that I might get something finished someday?
I guess your hearing is going like mine because you are shouting (capital letters).
Some (other) people would say that without pictures it never happened ... but I never would.
Thanks for posting.

I hope I'm still building these ole trucks well into my 80s. I've probably got that many projects. And Happy Belated Birthday!

29th last month was my birthday too...HAPPY BIRTHDAY lonesome1!!

81, that's awesome, of course you have a few more years of knowledge / great experiences on me, I only turned 53 this year. I'm hoping by the time I get to be 81 I'll still be working on vehicles which is what I love to do as my hobby. Although, I need to start being a whole lot nicer to my body or I may not be physically able too at 81. Already on a wait list for a left hip replacement and they figure a right knee in about 10 years.

We need photos of your truck. Love to see the crown vic IFS and wheels and tires. I will turn 70 the day before Thanksgiving and have been working on my truck (51 F1) for a little over 10 years.

Need to get it done so I can enjoy it.
