Folks Of Interest old farts over 70

OK Don, how does it feel now?

 

I wondered when someone was going to say this...Ha Ha Time fly's!

 

70 today...

 

Got there last year.

 

72 here-still plugging along-lookin for another 40 to do

 

Back when Noah was just a pup and starting to build his boat, I was there to teach him how to forge spikes to hold it all together. At least I feel that way this morning. Damned sub zero weather & stiff joints.

Got up this morning sounding like an add for Rice Crispy's. Snap, crackle & pop.

 

Is it running? I can't hear it

 

75 and still building hot rods on this end. Beats the hell out of setting on your butt watching time go by.

 

I'm 70 (which is 30 years past my expiration date) and I'm ecstatic to still be building rods. Going slower of course, paying others to do some of the hard work ---- but still having fun.

I don't see the glass as half full, it's all the way full. Breathing is underrated.

 

WHERE IS THAT FORM THAT I NEED TO FILL OUT TO BE IN THIS OLD FARTS CLUB???

 

Haa!---83 this year, slowing down just a little!
Hows Elli doing ?----She still in Havasu?

 

They say that people who have the most number of birthdays live longer, also you are in trouble when the only thing that gets hard in your body is your arteries.

 

73 1/2 (we count half years at this age) and built this one out of a '28 Reo 4 door field find last year. Final assembly on another project going on now. Also built a frame for the next project this winter.

The key for me is to have the enthusiasm be greater than the body aches and pains.

 

What the hell are you guys talking about! I'm in my 20's and still hot over cool cares. However, every morning I see this old guy (nearly 70) always in the window in room next to the bathroom sink. I tried loosing him at every opportunity but I can shake the "old fart" Please help!

 

eight years to go I love the link !

 

This old Ford keeps me young 71 and going on 18

 

Idea: start a new thread for the oldest person by state still driving , hot rod of course. Any centurion's?

 

Jeeze.... you deserve your own club for sure.....But think for a min please.... Hearing is damn near shot,gotta wear cheaters to see up close, and cant remember shit..... I tell that to the 20 somethings......And I'm not 50! If you have all those- Concider yourself fortunate! I'll join your club someday,but it's gonna be a bitch getting there....Can't wait for the rest of the fun

 

I drive my avatar,and am just finishing up my latest project, a 28 Chevy Woody.
I'm 73.

 

I bumped across the 70 mark a little over 4 years ago. I've found I just can't shake the old
time hot rod thing. I'm still working on my '27 Ford modified, it's about 65%, a slightly off thread
Ford Country Sedan,that one missed the mark by 3 years, then there is a newer P-10 step van.
Now, I figure that I'll need at least another 15 years to finish all my projects, but thats what keeps me feeling young. Hope to see y'all on the road.

The older I get, the older I want to get.
Years are precious- enjoy them !

 

Growing old....Mandatory Growing up optional.

 

I'll be 75 in July.

 

Mid-way thru my 72nd yr & still trying to keep up to the younger guys, but going to too many funeral services for the bud's.......drove my RPU to LARS last June & ended up doing an unintentional 1100 mi non-stop on way home......managed to survive that one, just left it on cruise control @ 75 mph and found it's way home......

 

Will be 73 this year,and just competed in Daytona Kart week, avg.73 mph on road course,and around 120mph on high banks. . Still got my 27 T project ,and my 51 chevy fast back is still kicking.
I say get that adrenaline going and stay young at heart..and I have a great wife that puts up with my "affliction" great site ,I'm lurking often. thk/u. gus.

 

I will be 71 next month, finished my 70 BB, 4sp Nova, last year. Hope I have time to finish a 32 chopped and channeled coupe!!!!

 

I'll be 70 in 2 months, been quite a ride, you are welcome to view my profile. Happy where I am in this journey, still chasing women (kind of just look'in now) and drinking beer (1 or 2).

 

Three cheers for Gus!!!

 

Yeah!------But how does he get out of the cart???---------Haaa!

 

"Ha" Deuce Dan; good point ,I have a orthopedic procedure for sure, to get out. Its a very comfy cockpit ,being laydown position, and my custom head support, helps for 45min. runs, also been driving these things for 50 years.
I should get a sponsorship from Excedrin..keep trucken,and keep the shop warm,thk/u. gus.
