i bought a car and im only 14...

Theres an old rock n roll song that goes"yeah i'm only 14 and i commin on 15 but i wanna be 16 so i can get me a hotrod" those are some way cool lyrics from a kid back in the 50's and yes i think there is hope yet,keep up the good work kid and maybe someone may donate an old T or A body they dont want.Stranger things have happened..............Marq

 

My advice to you is if by the time you turn 16 you haven't got this car running, buy something cheap that you could not possibly put much money into. For example, I my dad gave me my '48 chev when i was 14, I planned to get it working so i could drive it to highschool, well that never happened so I bought a cheap jeep after i turned 16. soon after I realized that stock jeeps looked gay, so I put a good 3K into it. now I'm 18 and I realized i could have just driven the stock jeep and put that 3K into the chevy which is what I really wanted.

don't get sidetracked by projects you are only halfway interested in. Its a great way to waste time and money.

 

You guys had to wait till 16 for a driver's license?
I worked on a farm.

 

I bought 2 cars before I was 16, a '64 Impala 2dr HT ($175), and a '53 New Yorker ($350), 1979 prices. Both ran, until I got hold of them.

 

PLEASE not flat black with red rims and whitewalls...


i like the plans you got for it.... sounds like you got a good head on your shoulders.... style-wise at least

good luck and keep us posted on the progress....

 

thanks for the compliments guys.
cool buy samiyam. you still got that 55?

steve i guess i was wrong unless they just have them in stock.

under the hood its got a 389.

and it wont be flat balck, and red rims. as soon as all the primer and body work is done it shouldnt be too long after that till the paint is done,hopefully...

 

Way to go man!

When I was your age I was workin on crappy Brittich cars. Your way ahead.

 

As an old "widetrack" poncho fan, congraulations on your first ride. Sounds like your gonna have a winner there!

Keep us posted on your progress.

Hey, and I can't tell you how true this is! Mine wasnt running yet either, so I bought a little VW...seemed pretty harmless but I have just as much in it as I do my chevy at this point...doh!

 

Welcome from another Poncho driver. That car has tons of potential, It'll be fun to watch your progress.

Yeah, you know, you can score like an 84 honda CIVIC CRX reeeeeal cheap... plenty dependable, excellent gas mileage, easy enough to work on to keep running if you get over your predjudice against metric tools... meanwhile you can fix that pontiac up CHERRY!

Then go back and do a VTEC swap on the CRX!!!


HAHAHAHAAAAH! You punkass import/SBC hater!
