I Can't Belive It
In 2 1/2 hours I hit the big 70.It seems only yesterday that I was getting married and starting a family,serving an apprentiship and getting started in life.I have been blessed with 3 great kids that choose to remain single,so no granddaddy here.A wife that put up with me for 49 yrs. in June.
Time seems to move at a rapid pace,you are old and don't realize it.My health is good,with the exception of type II diebetes which I control with diet and exercise.I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to build another car after 40 +yrs.
Blessed with A forum that I am proud to be a part.So with that said I thank all the guys and gals,that have helped me with technical and moral support during the build process of the coupe.
Someone said you are old as dirt when you reach my age.I don't feel it.
I just took the coupe out today and filled er up Wheeeew $$$.Going to go for a long drive tomorrow and enjoy the day.Don D

Happy birthday, Don! You are only as old as you feel. Remember, growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Happy Birthday Don.
Move to Florida and you will be just a pup. From living here I have found out there are two kinds of older people: Those that look and act their ages and those that are fighting aging tooth and nail. Those people are like you (and I.......I hope) people who enjoy life and are still 18 between the ears.
From what I have seen of you on this forum you are just beginning to have fun. Keep it up.
Don

Have a great birthday! Nice to that are some of us old(er) guys out there that are not content to just sit in a recliner. Most of us are going to develop some inevitable aches and pains, but staying active seems to keep many of them in check. Like your ride, Don. Hope you have good weather for your cruise!Leo

Happy birthday Don. I just turned 66, but I find that most of us old guys are still 18 in our minds. Enjoy your drive.

We don't get to see many 70+ guys here. You'll be joining Jim (Big tracks) in that exalted bracket. Hmmmm, must be somethin' in the water down Texas way. Good on ya!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Happy Birthday! I went through that last year. It is important your car is running, I get achey all over working under the car. Type II is a pain, you are supposed to reduce carbohydrates but if you eat too much protein you have to worry about cholesterol! We like the one free dinner on Tuesday's at the local Aunt Sarah's to get a ham and cheese omelet but then they add pancakes which are hard to resist! So just be glad you can enjoy your car and only have to change the oil.

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
