Once upon a time I was in to the wrench turning and switching out parts on early model cars but I gave in a while back I guess and said I’d leave it to the Professionals. Lol. I won’t even hook up the Laptop to do the FORScan items that I’d like to have added to the GT. Think I just prefer to get what I want at a cost and enjoy this one … till the next one!! 😉

But you keep on representing for us “Seasoned” fellas!! 💪🏽 Great job by the way on your Installs!!
I appreciate it sir.
My old employer ,the grandpa who owned the machine shop worked still worked on his early 32 Fords till he was 96,that's probably why I have the mentality to keep working on them.
His son Tom,passed this yr from ALS,he was 73,he'd always wrench too,but the sickness got him unfortunately.
Just trying to keep them proud of my where ever they are in the next life!

My dad was still shoveling snow, mowing the grass, and doing most of the housework (mom's health was failing) at 81 years old. I hope to be in the same condition at that age. So far, no signs of slowing down at 54 years old. :)

Funny as my Dad is 83 and said he'd stop changing his own oil after his last filter was gone...then he bought 3 more filters!! LOL I help him doing brakes, plugs, etc. and he helps me with the same, plus we both still wrench on my 65 GTO.
