    Hey boss! Thanks for the close-up of the T... I am really looking forward to seeing the Chevs come together, so I totally get why you had to move it along. I hope the new owner enjoys it and gets it on the road! Cheers from Alberta...

    That's a piece of rolling history,FYI Ford Australia produced it's first T model Fords in Geelong Victoria Australia in a converted Dalgetys wool store in june 1925, you can always get another one later on. Henry Ford was a genius that's for sure, I have seen a working replica of his first engine which was made from pipes and plumbing fittings, amazing!

Had fun with it for 2 more years. 125 hours of flight time in it. No regrets selling it. It sat for 2 years not being able to fly due to health reasons. Now I have a 39 Chevy pickup project that consumes my time, money, and thoughts. Your videos are coming in handy when I look at the fender repair that needs to be done. Thanks for the great content.

    See ya Lizzy!!! Not boring at all. Like to hear how others with "the illness" deal with it. I can relate to your comments even though my situation and reasons are a bit different. My issues/concerns relate to time left/elevated age vs how many/which projects can I finish in that time.
    Hope your next project will be another (late 40's/early50's) Chevy car or truck!! My Dad's first new car after WWll was a 49 Chevy. He traded that car in on a new 56 Olds and the Chevy had 20,000 miles on it. They said one of the mechanics at the Dealership bought it before it ever hit their used car lot. ;o( Love the dashboards in those cars with that unique "vertical" radio.

Then in the early 70's I read in R&C about an old boy in LA who was still driving a souped 26 Roadster he had built in the early 30's,with OHV head etc etc .For one reason or another I still haven't found the time to gather up the bits and knock one together.

Looking at your projects, i think what i'd like to see, would be some project that makes it to some level of show condition. Paint, upholstery, engine rebuild....... so forth. Even if you don't do the work . whom ever buys this old Ford, does he have a you tube channel? . Some projects seem to have lives of their own. Maybe collaborate with other you tubers on a project or two. Just love to see it at a A&W on a Thursday night and ask all the questions up close.. Just a few random thoughts from Northern Alberta.

    I'm old. I've had a few cars. I think, you can't keep them all. Maybe you can't keep the best one even. Take pictures. You can keep the pictures for ever. Besides, the most important part of it is the process. The stuff you learned as a result of the process, you keep that forever too.
