Is old age creeping up on us???

I only use a trailer when towing a race car to the drag strip. This Nomad will be done soon with a rim/tire change to Cragar SS's. When done it will only see a trailer if it breaks down on the road. I hope you've had your fun? Trust me, I'm not offended. I have thick skin so to speak.

 

Let's keep our sense of humor, fellas. Old age doesn't have to mean grumpiness. Carnuba is almost sixty. He's old too. Old dudes lose their train of thought sometimes. ha ha

 

You're right, I'm just playin' around with that line.

 

Your my hero for the day! Way positive attitude!

BTW Im 35 and this is my first rod.

 

Butti : Thanks for the kind words...
That car of yours is lookin' just right!!
Keep up the good work and the tradition..

I was outside of Driggs Idaho in a snow storm with a magazine writer 15 years ago and we agreed, LAST ONE OUT TURNS OFF THE LIGHTS!

 

Old age stands behind us with a baseball bat and when HE wants you cop it hard and fast in the back of the head!!

Doc.

 

My Dad told me that 2 things happen when you get old...one is you lose your memory and two is....shit I can't remember.

The comments about old guys just wiping their cars and not driving them cracks me up. In my town there is a guy in his mid 60s with a couple cool cars. He built his 32', he built the teardrop he pulls behind it, and he drove from Indiana to Calf., Oregon, the Salt flats, and back. The year before he dragged the car with a different motor and took the title. There are plenty of these guys around that still drive their cars everywhere. I know they get to put on more miles than I do because they are retired, no kids at home, and have more funds. I'm thankful for all these guys that are hanging tough because they have forgotten more about building hot rods than most of us know.

 

I been workin on mine a lot and ain't checked into to this HAMB in a while.

Dang smokes. Sure is a lot of tinkle being shot at the wind around here as of late.

 

it hitting us smack dab in the face

spent a lot of the last winter doing world of wheels, with the loses and all I am seriously pondering staying home and building something in the shop
i got to get this done before I am too old!!

I am also having a litle dificulty in getting up from the creeper
BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP yet

 

I don't own a trailer...Some cars are trailered for good reason,,,I moved a guys car off his trailer for him,,,now that chopped 32 was an ultra cool 500hp rod but to drive it 400 miles ,,,,not if i had a trailer handy and comfy pickup to haul it,

 

Around here there are a lot of youngun's in the hobby, so it seems that there isn't much to worry about. In fact, my 16 year old cousin already has two rods!!!! (OT stuff. a '79 Chevy truck with a thumpin little 350 and a '72 Datsun 240Z that he just finished a V8 swap into!). I can remember too when I was younger, and still, how a lot of the older guys treated us young guys with disdain. I don't know why. But as I get older, I notice that we are more accepted the older we get. I have always felt that that may have scared off some of the younger crowd, forcing them to hang out with guys their own age and therefore getting into hondas. I am only 28, and after breaking three vertabrae in my neck and being involved in a motorcycle crash that has shortened my memory, given me a rebuilt knee, and soon a hip replacement, I sure feel old though!!!!!

 

LOL, just blew coffee out of my nose. Getting older isnt too bad though. Just the physical stuff sucks.

 

I like the quote " If you didn't know how old you are , how old would you be ?"

 

don, thats the funniest damn thing ive heard in a long time. good one my friend!!! and i love that shirt lol.

 

I'd say that pretty well nails it. Where are my glasses?

 

Growin old aint for pussies! I guess we gotta consider the alternative...hahaha... I just prefer not to act my age....chin up old son,we won't make it out of this alive....

 

Well put!

 

AMEN! No creeping up, It smacked me right in the face. I'm 57, feel like I'm 87...

 

My 14 year old nephew just got some deuce rails. But he's the only one at school doing that.

 

lol

 

Asks the guy with a trailer in HIS avatar

 

That blue and silver job looks like a taildragger to me.

 

The older I get the more I feel like a taildragger!

 

Sure beats a towbar and towing hubs!

I think someone has had this discussion before.
