I've loved cars for a long time, always went through the hotrod magazines when I was younger. But my dad wasn't into hotrods "anymore", and didn't have proper shop setup. Plus my mom was not one to indulge things that took money she could have used elsewhere. :D My first car was a 65 mustang fastback (sold when family needed money) and I had a 69' caddy convertible for a while. both fun but I didn't really work on them.
I've wanted to build a hotrod for a long while, but never had the resources and tools. My uncle Rick (who's only child was a girl that wasn't a tomboy) is like a big kid and when I moved into my house started building a shop there for us to use. Then this year he decided he wanted a hotrod, and since he knew I'd enjoy working on it instead of buying something finished he bought what we have out there now for me to work on with him. It's great fun and only possible through his kindness. Hopefully when my kids are old enough we can still get fuel for these things!!!!
