  2. Awesome thread !!!! have read thru all replies & totally enjoyed..........agree w/comments that " you feel 17 again when driving your hotrod "..........or just road-tripping with the boys can be a blast, a bunch of old guys still laughing when someone farts in the crew cab...........as long as you can get the windows open..........

    Have a 9 yr old Grandson who thinks he's just invented farting...............
     
  3. So far it looks like Gene Cromer is the senior man on the Hamb, 86 years young and still getting down the track. HRP

    73 here--still playing with cars-looking for another 40 project. Wife is 61 and keeps me motivated. Doesn't mind the projects as it keeps me out of her hair and she helps with assembly as well.

    I'm over 50 but (according to my wife) still immature :p (Finally got a chance to use that emoticon.) I would like to say that I appreciate you older guys sharing your knowledge. That is the biggest reason I haunt this site (that and the pictures) :rolleyes:

    I'm 65, old enough to know better, too stubborn to do anything about it! Feel like I'm 40, except after a long day in the garage or yard, then EVERYTHING aches!

    The great thing about this place is that I never think about age or sex or color here. I just read about a hot rod.

  28. You can continue to brag, for you don't look anywhere near 77. A great looking couple !
