Bought it from a neighbor with a blown engine when I was 14.  Fixed it up, took it to my first varsity football game and lit up the tires afterwards in front of school.  Female passenger was impressed.  My father, waiting for Mom nearby, was not impressed and I lost the keys for a month.  That took all of about a year....

I parked in a shed in '83 to start college and now start every once in a while.  My only question is which to fix up first, the Firebird or the '53 F100 with a flathead?
