It seems I may be a youngster on the list.

I'm 21 with 31 years of experience (you do the math).

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Dear List,

Who wants to gather all the data for the oldest/youngest?

Here's my info.
I was born June 1940 (but think I'm 35).

BTW
The 91 GL is nearly ready for coming out of the body shop.
After filling and sanding for about three months, just primed both bumpers
ready for color and clear coat on Monday.
The nicest looking Dennis Haynes IVORY hitch is also being mounted next
week.
New electric motors and regulators are being installed next week.
The cladding is ready to mount.
Even the license plate holder is IVORY.
I have lots of photos and will post all when it is finished.

Then I start on my newest 'bauble' - 86 Syncro restoration.
(Anybody want to install 1st and 2nd gear assy in my Syncro gearbox?
Preferably somewhere in Florida where I can drop it off.)
