Jim.

 As has been said you do a lot for the preservation of the Y and we are glad that you do.  I thank you for the time you spend to keep the site going. Would like to thank all that help when trouble comes to our Y blocks. There is much knowledge here thanks to all.  "Gerry"

help might be closer than you think.

Jim..

This site reminds my Brother and I about the meeting of Ford rodders and some scrub drivers meeting at the Big Boy parking lot corner of Walnut and Eden Park Blvd.. to head out to Rt48, or Pittsburgh International, or Keystone... There too did we make friends for a life time..

Again.. Thanks

Just keep posting Tom and you will age quickly I have been out in my shop most of the day putting up insulation and sheetrock in my office so that I can vacate the corner of the garage that is part of the house. I don't feel like a junior ANYTHING right now! Oh well, keeps the Chiropracter busy.

This is indeed a great forum.  Jim keeps it going, everyone brings up topics and Ted, John and others lend their experience.  Met Ted thru this and then at Birdapaloosa.  Now converse directly ... like yesterday.  1st time I heard the intake gaskets are left and right specific.

I now know I like it even more but fear additional post will changed my "Junior Member" status.  Imagine that I love going to Shrine events and being called "Young Feller" and on here I am a "JUNIOR Member".  WOW, 59 and I am young and junior.  Ain't it great?

Happy New Year to all.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

I concur in praising Jim for all his efforts. He is VERY much appreciated! (I would crawl through hot coals to talk Y-blocks).



My love affair started the day a friends' mother gave him some money, sent him to get new mufflers installed on her '55 272, and he came back with GLASSPACKS. She was definitely NOT happy, but when I heard that music, I was HOOKED!

A special thank you to Jim and Bob for all that they do, and let us not forget Bruce Young who started this madness with Y-Block magazine! And to all my "extended Y-Block family" a Very Merry Christmas and a Safe, Happy New Year, from the "Great White North"!

I love the smell of burning rubber in the morning!

Jim,

I discovered your site two years ago. I'm like a lot of forum members, just trying to bring back part of my youth. In my youth I was the proud owner of a 56 Sunliner "P" code. Now I'm busting my knuckles on a great old "P" code Club Sedan. Without the help of Ted, John and other members, I would not be where I am today. The 312 is running fine, soon to have an "E" code manifold with some additional mods. Body is done, a clone of your fine 56. Interior is being done as of this writing. Excitment builds toward my first real cruise. It's comforting to know their are others infected with this "y" desease.

The members on this site really care about the preservation of these great old cars. What a trip! I hope to meet all of you in the future. I wanted to take a moment to say, "THANKS" for all of the wonderful information and the support. I have arrived at home back in Ford Y Land!



Happy New "Y"ear to all !



Keep on "Y"ing



Jim
