Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

i have been driving mine for the past 4 or 5 months until about two weeks ago i decided to do a 5 lug disc brake conversion. so i have been driving our little mazda. There are a lot of kids that like it, they always ask me about it and complement it. its been a lot of fun for me in every shape and way.

I got mine when I was a Junior in HS, I'm a Junior in College now but don't drive it to school. Just a bit too far for 14 mpg. I would say that counts for this thread.

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

My end of 10th grade comes on the 11th. Feels so blasted far away. Graduation is quite a sobering moment I'd think. I think about it from time to time I sure am gonna miss people. At least I've got my truck! Perfect timing too for getting out of school then I'm gonna drop my new engine in woo!

Same deal here! Had to wait for school to get out so I can really work on my truck. Otherwise it was riding the bus. rusty truck that drops number 8 every five seconds due to bad valve seals that oil foul the plugs> bus
But I still have to wait because next week i'll be in on vacation and parts can't sit on the porch The reaction at school when it's finished next year should be worth the wait

Re: Calling all high school 67-72 owners!

I started building mine at 14... Got it finished at 17, a week before graduation. Half the people at school thought it was a myth until they saw it. I'm almost 20 now and in college. I've driven it almost daily ever since.
