Funny how us old guys think, we'd rather drive something from our past, that we built ourselves! We just keep plugging away at the task at hand.

We look at the Cameros and such as normal, but our enjoyment comes from the rusty ol' stuff

Yep, give me a project any day. Someone can always go buy one off the lot, but how many times do you get to drive one you built or saved?

speaking of lots, remember in HS, we would go to the Chevy dealer and ask the salesman if we could drive such and such car. "Why sure young man, give me a minute to get some plates"

Sure was hard to keep them going straight on those 8" bias ply tires

Hehe, when I was a younger, there were no car lots for miles and miles around us. (Farmboy). If you wanted to drive something new, you were just out of luck. Of course, I bought my first car when I was 14 too, with my hay money. A 68 Galaxie 500. The one and only F#$D I have owned.
