Well with all the responce I had with our Birth Date quiz I decided not to wait until noon. There were 46 replys to the post with a total of 2633 years of experience building hotrods. The average age of these 46 fine folks is 57.24 years. So it just goes to show ya that rod building is for the elderly. Now we just have to work on designing hot scooters and walkers. I don't think the care homes would mind black marks on the hallway floors :o) UPDATE: THERE HAVE BEEN 85 RESPONCES TO THIS BLOG SO HERE ARE THE NEW STATS. 4214 YEARS TOTAL EXPERIENCE AVERAGE AGE: 56.19

Chev powered of course. I guess your right Streetrodder.......There was only eight guys in your bracket. 25 guys over 60 12 guys over 50 and ONE youngster in his thirties. 32Canuck [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Victoria BC, Canada Charter Member since December 2006   Posted by Streetrodder007  -  03/11/2007 03:40 PM Ya know we could actually make a few of those wheel chairs pretty cheap, and sell them as novelties at Swap meets. Streetrodder007 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Port Huron, Michigan Charter Member since April 2006   Posted by 1carguy  -  03/11/2007 03:51 PM Your numbers are askew...there were 3 guys over 98 that weighted the overall average too high. Take them out and the number is somewhere in the youthful 40s. 1carguy [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Pleasanton, California   Posted by MOREorles  -  03/11/2007 05:22 PM Anybody else here ever see in person the original Henry Ford? I did when I was six years old! In 1946, his last birthday. He died the next year before his birthday. The city of Dearborn, Michigan and Ford workers had a birthday party for him.......where else but Ford Field Park he had donated to the city.

Drags down at the home! Count me in. orphans2 [ View ] [ Email ] [ Blogs ] [ Car Ads ] Stewartstown, Pennsylvannia Charter Member since November 2001   Posted by Streetrodder007  -  03/11/2007 09:58 PM Now my wife is really going to think I'm Nuts if I actually build one of these. I have a few spare motors, and I have access to lots of wheel chairs and parts, NO not for me, wife is a RN and a very close friend runs a in-home care business for people who need things like wheel chairs, oxygen etc. I might do it. Any buyers?
