Grandpa's Old Ford Garage

Post by ToughOldFord »

Man, this old timer does some nice work. I hope I can still turn a wrench @ 84. Heck, I hope I'm still breathing when I'm 84.

I can't get aropund as good as him now and I am only 47. Couple of bad discs took care of that. If I keep on hurting like this I don't want to live to be that old to be honest.
He sure does some great work that is for sure. That wrought iron look Model T is pretty dang interesting. He is a Ford artist for sure

:eek:, That's awesome! I'd say he's definitely mastered the art-form of customization 8) and to keep working on cars at 84 years old is just amazing, I wanna go to Kansas and meet the guy :lol:.
