I have been fighting health issues for a loooong time. My 40 tudor has been sitting covered up in the garage for at least a year and a half. I have had nightmares about it being stolen and/or crashed and destroyed. My health has improved, my appetite has returned, my artistic juices started flowing, started a new project, and decided to get my hot rod on again. Thank God for battery tenders and gas stabilizer, it fired right up and after a fluid check hit the road. Took my wife, son, and daughter in law for a cruise of the beaches and ocean cliffs. I haven't been this happy in many years! put it back in the garage, but did not cover it up after all I an driving it again tomorrow.
Congrats. Always feels good to drive a 40 Ford! I drive mine as much as possible and for any excuse that I can! Prayers for your continued good health!
I'm happy to hear that your health situation has improved and you feel like having fun with your hot rod,,I have learned even when a health guy is not up to speed a ride in the hot rod does wonders for your outlook. I hope you continue to enjoy good health! HRP
GREAT! Best of all your health is on the mend. Sounds like your outlook is, too. I wish you continued improvements in your health and MANY more rides in your hot rod; especially with the family... remember that THEY likely enjoy those rides as much or MORE that you do! All the best, Al
Your post put a smile on my face! Great that you're feeling better and back on the road! BTW, are you a fan of bluegrass music? Seldom Scene makes me think maybe you are!
Must be a SBC in that 40 ! Stay healthy and as the song says " Get your motor runnin, get out on the highway "
Four wheel therapy is some of the best therapy. Especially when you can bring the fam along. Glad you're feeling better. T
I'm glad for you---I hadn't driven mine for about a month til yesterday. (This was intended to be a response to #1----didn't take.)
Great to hear a good news story! thanks for sharing it and giving the rest of us a happy moment! Enjoy the good health and the beautiful drives! If you have a moment, the guys over on "Deuces and 40's" on facebook would love to hear it too!
Happy to hear that your health has improved and you can take the 40 out for a family drive. Keep on enjoying those drives for years to come.
Hey Seldom, I drove my coupe to church this morning, and thought of you. Hope you get the chance to do some motoring around in your '40 today, too!
No longer Seldom: Glad to hear you are feeling better and can get back to driving the 40. I have a 39 Tudor they are a comfortable ride. Keep moving! TEB Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
My ol' dad used to say that in his declining years how a good drive along those picturesque roads of Cape Cod would perk him up after a rough day being house bound. He was not really in the best of shape to drive I thought. Always worried about those people in his pathway.
I know how you feel. I just got my 40 tudor on the road last month after being down for paint, body, mech issues, & wiring since 2010. goes to uph shop in sept, then we're done for awhile.
