    17 here...Bought the falcon in my picture when I was 14. Took 3 years to a) be able to afford to bring it to its current state and b) to get the work done with school/girlfriend/teenager stuff.

    I'm 23 and I have a 28 Model A pickup chopped and Z'd. I also fell in to the import trap when I was 17. Nothing against them though, we all know that without anybody else helping us out, this stuff would cost us a fortune even for a rat rod, when a Honda costs what, 10k and you still "think" your cool. Like someone else said, soon we will be the ones that everyone comes to when the honda fad is over.

    I'm 23. I couldn't even change oil until about four years ago. Since then I've had a few shoebox project cars and now I have a '52 Dodge. No one in my family is into hot rod rods but I got the bug from a friend in high school. I guess I like the do-it-yourself attitude of the old hot rod builders more than anything.

    25 years old
    1953 chevy 210 coupe - sold
    1949 chevy 3100 project in progress now
    also have a honda chopper, wont talk about that though

    I HATE IMPORTS not because of the country they're from, but they think 14 sec 1/4 miles are fast....WTF


    I'd have more cars but my fiance says she wont park on the street and the spare frame in the garage is taking up too much space with the 49 being torn apart. After the 49 is done it's getting sold and we are buying a house outside of the city so I can have my "MAN SPACE" as she calls it. And our 6 month old daughter will have room to run when she can run..lol

    I wish I lived in So Cal, seems like everyone has an A in their yard/garage.... I cant even find a piece of metal here that old,. Im so jealous.
