Let's kick it up!!

[Larry Ploghoft]

Have no Idea, tried to post a overview of me and family along with pictures fo my T and it would not save my draft or let me post. All I get are error notices that says I'm not allowed. I fore one am sick of computers that don't work like they shoulde and websites that are always trouble. I give up

Larry - - I understand the frustration. Been there. I just kept fighting with it till I stumbled on a solution or someone pointed me in the right direction. I refuse to use face book, so I MUST keep our NTBA site always in my mind. It does work, BUT, by damn, I learn something new every time I use it, and it is getting easier to navigate through the maze. It could be much more user friendly, but being an avid FB non-user - - this ain't bad!!....lyle

Larry, as a last resort, you could e-mail the pics to me, and I'll post 'em!

Ok Ill try again for the fourth time. A little about me and my family, I am retired after 50 years in the tire game, working for Michelin and others concentrating on OTR (large as in huge) earthmover tires used on the alaska pipeline, strip mines etc. I am married to my wife of 53 years Judy, we have 2 grown sons with 9 grankids and 3 great grandkids. our oldest son is a school principal in Astoria Or. and the youngest drives for UPS in Mn. I have been a hot rodder, gerarhead all my life, being a partner in a funny car team in the late 60s. I raced an 48 big block Anglia in the 70s, and have owned lots of varied cars including a 36 f0rd e window coupe,69 Nova SS 396 L78,astre(pontiac Vega) with a 350 small block and one of my favorites a 69 chev Kingswood estate Hipo 427 p0wered. Boy i would like to have them back. I built my T Bucket over a period of a couple years, finishing it a couple years ago, its 302 powered,Weind blower, C4 trans and 57 chev rear,disc in front drums rear with power booster. I dont drive it much anymore as age has caught with me and my hips and knees make it difficult(oh to be young again) I have done a few modifications to make it more confortable for me to drive, i have relocated the shifter to the left of my left leg and now shift left handed(no need to shift often) I have relocated gas pedal further up and away from the column and converted the brake to hand operation all to make it easier for me to operate. Still having fun with it but I dont know for how long

Larry,
Thanks for trying again.........You have a right nice car there and it even has a Ford in a Ford as it should have......LOL.. ....I really like the color too boot..........I might be just a little one sided on that color thing, mine is that color too........

Boy can I relate to your story and thanks for posting it......... ......they tell me that anyone that can live with the same "old man" for 50+ years must be a Saint and I bet that Judy is just that.....

My wife got married also 50+3 years ago and I hear that all the time 'bout how good she is......but she had to have something to work with, Right?.....

Again Thanks for posting the photos and see it really is not that hard, Welcome to the NTBA and I would really hope you can make it to the 2017 Nats in Carson City, Nevada. I would love to sit a talk a spell about them Saints we live with.......LOL.....or Old Cars for that matter...........

Mike
