45 and it wasn't my foot kicking my momma before i was born. It was the wrench in my hand.

I remember when I was 8 or 9 and I had a hammer beating the hell out of my match box cars and my Grand dad ask what I was doing. i said "I'm fixing them" then it started.

I'm a very old 54

**Captainfab** · 08-13-2011, 12:19 AM

I turned 52 last month

In my mind I don't think I'm 52, but with increasing frequency, my body reminds me that, yes I am.

jimmydean · 08-13-2011, 12:16 PM

I've had more cars/trucks that were older than me than I've had new. I didn't get into trucks until I moved to Oregon and needed one in 1993.

Big, tall, and loud. Low, long, and loud. I have done most anything but stock.

Andice · 08-13-2011, 12:35 PM

I'm as old as my truck..... '64 model.

Welcome to the forum. Post some pics when you can.

I'm 63 now, started passing wrenches when I was about 6. By the time I was 10 or 11 I was doing tune ups and clutch jobs by myself. Had no interest in working on cars for a career, always kept it a hobby so the enthusiasm would never diminish.

66K10383 · 08-15-2011, 03:19 PM

Im 19. got my first 65 when I was 15. Ive been around these trucks since i was 4. I remember changing the valve cover gasket on my moms 65 chevy with a 250 when she first got it back in 1996.

It was badass, I remember when we hit the auto shops for scrap and made the money to buy the truck during the test drive

I never did a clutch until last year tho

**aerotruk63** · 08-15-2011, 03:45 PM

49 and just realized that this has been a mid life crisis since 1984 when I got my first truck that started this whole obsession.
