Hello all.
This has been one H*ll of a year, and I will not be sorry to see it go away! I hate the brave new world that we are now living in. But...
I just had the best summer EVER!!!
I am hoping that you won't mind hearing about it.
I have 2 daughters. I have been sharing my love of cars, and motorized conveyances with them since they were born. My eldest came home from the hospital in a 1973 gold Monty Carlo. The younger in a 1968 Oldsmobile station wagon. Both caught the bug, but for the younger one, it is a terminal case.
She is now 17, and has just started her senior year of high school. She has been driving for over a year and is relaxed and at home behind the wheel.
When I asked her at 16 what she wanted for her first car she said:
1) a Model A
2) but, with a truck bed
3) with fins
4) And it should look like "Mad Max"
Cue the summer project.
My daily driver is a 2015 jeep wrangler. I sold off one of my finished cars and bought it a year and a half ago. Its a great car and I love it, but it is boring.
Cue the summer project again!
We decided to do a big push on both the projects.
We finished the Jeep and she drove it on her first day of school last week. We got a lot done on hers (which she has named Igor-think Marty Feldman) and she should be able to drive it on her first day back after the winter break.
Here are some picts of what we both started with...
