41woodie Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've always done small woodworking projects as well as building my own home. My current project is repair and restoration of my 1941 Ford Woodie Station Wagon. I'm retired from the restaurant business and enjoy my old car, flyfishing and travel. Looking forward to gaining insights and valuable advice to help with getting my old car back on the road. The photo was taken in September 2017 when we were leaving to drive the car from Oklahoma to San Diego for the Wavecrest Woodie Meet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Welcome to the forums Woodie. Now that is an impressive woodworking project. Are you going to travel on any of the old Route 66 on your way t oSan Deigo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41woodie Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Chet thanks for the comment, our trip was in September of last year. The long drive, vibration, bumps etc loosened a lot of old joints and repairs that I'm trying to correct before driving season this year. To answer your question we were able to travel some short stretches of old 66 but made the trip in 2 1/2 days each way and had vacationed in the past along a lot of the route so didn't take much in the way of side trips this time.

Bankstick Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 That is a classic!!!! I remember when they were new. We drove to Little Rock last summer. I-40 was so bad, I thought I would have to go to the dentist to get my fillings replaced. That will bring out any loose parts in a vehicle. Joke: Two guys bought a woodie and tore off all the wood. After they were done, one guy said, "You know, it looked better in the crate." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't place the neighborhood ... pretty flat ... looks N or NW side of the city. Am I close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to that we owned a livery stable in old downtown Guthrie that was converted into a home/shop 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
