ok ok lol mine starts off as my father is a lawyer not
a car enthuiest so he bilt a law office in a shopping center with a auto pts
store in it back in the early 70"s i was like 7 yrs old so they got tired of
me hanging around so they gave me a job makin 50 cets a day (enough for my
drinks )but i started learning and by 12 years was sellin parts to you older
guys over the counter than in 1980 my parents got divorced and we moved
but close to a body shop so i learned that i could play with cars and
wash it off in the evning so by the time i was 15 we had found a 69 mach
1 in a junkyard and a 428 scj out of (belive it or not) a 500 gt the car was
trashed but motor was good well we had it ready by my 16th bday and needless
to say i got it took from me and sold for having too much fun. well i became a
very young well experianced and fairly educated bodyman ,i was working in a
shop in southrn va restoring cars for a moron and was working on a 67 ss 396
conv.calli car with pwr windows and all the goodies i was talking to the owner
(who came by almost every day) and he was so impresed with the care i was
taking for his classic shevelle that he told me of a 72 ss chevelle conv.and
the price he said he could get it for me for around 5000 it needed restoring
but was a one owner and all orig well i had no money with new marriage and
kids poping out well all of sudden the owner passed away and left his
estate to be handeled by another guy i restored manny of his cars for and he
arranged it to were i could get the car for what the owner had in it a measly
$1250. lol so i still was broke but the 67 chevelle owner bought it and let me
pay him 25 bucks a week helped me get a top on it and i drove it for ten
years every day till i got side swiped now finnaly i have a garage
in ga and am currenty restoring the car i have loved for years i will
never sell it and it will be handed down to my son along with my chopper
i have been in tough times and never could bring my self to sell i love

different breed
