any women gearheads?

hi.i was just wondering if there was any other women on this board whos into old trucks(or cars).this has been a passion of mine since i could remember.dont know how,since my parents could of cared less what they drove.
it makes for a happy home and life when we can all go to the garage together and mess with something.my husband has a 1968 AMC AMX, he and my son built a 1967 c10 swb. i had a 1952 3100 wich i sold. my baby is a 1990 4x4 350 5speed rcsb. I installed factory buckets and console and fixed it up quite a bit.
my son and i took our camaros to the camaro nationals. he has a 1993 z28 and i had a 2010 wich I just traded for a new silverado. that was a great memory to last a lifetime.
my husband likes that im into these things.makes it easier for him to convince me when he wants to do something with them,actually i have to convince him when i wanna drag something else home
have fun and take a look at my photo album in my profile.

Re: any women gearheads?

lol, thanks for the heads up Nigel. Im here! Been here for over 10 years, had my truck for almost 12 years. My husband loves that Im a truck nut (and motorcycle nut) but hes not really into the mechanics of it. I love to work on my own truck (with the help of my many truck buddies here) Theres several of us girls that are pretty active here. Have fun!

Re: any women gearheads?

My daughter-in-law is not on here, but she helps my son restore the 67-72 trucks they have.

I am not sure how many they have restored, but at least 3.

68gmsee I know they do for sure. She has a fraternal twin and is exact opposite brunette, brown eyes, into the princesses and all that. LOL We have four girls, we lost Sarah when she was almost three months old. I try to do all I can with them because you cant take anything for granted.
