    Welcome to 2019.

    I find it hard to believe I made this far and am still going strong, I a 70 years old, thus my title.

    I am still fixing up and customizing cars.

    Latest project is fixing up a 03 Ford Crown Vic. P71 Ex-cop car.

    I am looking for a 2.47 9 Inch gear set for it. These will be used along with a 6R80 Six speed auto.

    My First Car as a 16 year old was a 1956 Studebaker Golden Hawk, which I began my life long habit of changing it to suit me.

    Thanks for this site and its help.

    You have a long way to go yet. I just turned 77 and still not smart enough to leave the old junk alone. Getting to the point where it's harder to crawl under the car. But I have to try and keep up with my buddy who is 80 and has two projects under way. He has a 55 hardtop and a 61 Bel Aire bubble top. So. You should have about ten good years to get something done!
