Folks Of Interest old farts over 70, how about over 80 RPU build

My father will be 84 come march 26 th, he has never used a computer , cell phone and has had the same phone # with bell Canada for 55 years.
He has been building this 26 roadster pick up for the last few years.
He does everything on his own including paint , I weld for him ,only because of his pacemaker.
These pictures were taken in summer 2013 car is now finished and he is driving it.
26 27 model t rpu 1939 flathead v8 60 hp

Super cool!

 

damn you dad is an inspiration to all us 70 year olds, keeping the torch lighted in his 80s? Rock on, must be that Canadian air!!!!

 

MY MENTOR IS 84 THIS YEAR AND BRINGS HIS COUPE TO OUR SAFETY MEETINGS 8 MONTHS OF THE YEAR EVERY SUNDAY AFTERNOON!!

 

That little pick up is my definition of perfect. So we all need to stop worry about aches and pains and get on with the build. You don't want to be the one sitting in your rocker say what a great time we had looking at that beautiful,old car parked in the garage, get out and enjoy it on the road and remember the mile and memories. Your dad certainly is driving.

 

Good job, life's a journey, just keep moving along.

 

I'm 83 this year,----Tell your dad NOT to drive the RPU at night!----Haaa!

 

Pop's doesn't drive at night ,no worries there !!!

 

Pop's drove every car he ever built, where he wanted and when he wanted , he has got a 26 touring car
he built in the 60's v8 60hp car as well with the paint wore off the top of the drivers door through
the paint and primer to the steel !!!

 

Nice work! Keep rolling

 

Good for him! Built an RPU in his 80's, my kind of guy.

 

I needed to hear something positive today, Thank your dad for both of us!
