    67 but I am beginning to feel a little pressure to get this 55 done .
    I would still like to be able to "hammer" it down a strip!!
    My bucket list is long but my days seem to be a little less productive !!

    Headed for 63, so I'm old enough to be in this thread. Our car club is called "The Old Koots". I'm the youngest one in the club! All I'll say is that it's great to see so many guys who should be all grown up and heading into the sunset, instead charging forward like the teenagers we still are inside!!!!

  24. BOY OH BOY, this is just great to see so MANY H.A.M.B. guys that are at or beyond the magic S.S. 62 number !
    A couple of thoughts here.
    We have many answers for others, here on H.A.M.B.
    If we were sitting with the youngin's, in person, the answers would be fewer, because we wouldn't hear the questions correctly.
    Us S.S. H.A.M.B. guys could start a club, then create a name for that club ........ but that wouldn't work either, since most of us would forget the name of the club by the time we walked out and fired up our rides. :)

  26. Broke past seventy this year. Finished a five year re-build in August of my very first car, putting in over 2,000 of my own hours. ...and planning on my next build, with another build churning in my brain for after that if I am still healthy. Still driving my '51 daily until the wet weather stops me during the winter. Life is good.
