I picked up this project car when Danny was just 1 year old - had to keep up with big bro Benjamin who got his Nova when he was just 1! I stashed it in the trailer until we began racing Jr Dragsters a couple of years ago, and needed the trailer to go racing. We've not really worked on it yet - Danny is only 4, and needs to be a little bit older before we put him to work. Plus, any free time/money is spent on Benjamin's Nova (and race car).

Pics of Danny's car, NOS quarters are hung, NOS fenders came with it along with some repo sheetmetal and a really nice SS hood. Car is not an SS, but is an RS, capri cream, 327, PG, 3.07 open rear. We have a 4 speed and a posi / multi leaf 10 bolt that we might install - we'll see.

It was Danny's turn for 'Daddy Date Night' this past Saturday, so we went to a custom car show. This is what his Camaro should look like when finished, but no 16 year old really wants a stock looking muscle car. So, we'll see how he wants it!

He sure does - he has Mom's dimples, but Dad's brown eyes! The other two have Mom's blue eyes.

He is fully aware that this car is all his, and is not shy about telling people not to touch it. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif We have it stored in this shed that we put out back,

and he can go in and play in it anytime - no better way to get them hooked on American Muscle! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif

Ah yes. Another young man is reeled in! Looks like Mike Yanessa's Camaro in the background. Very nice car.

Thanks all, it is certainly a rewarding experience to spend time with the boys and their cars.

Yes, that is Mike's Camaro - it's a local (Boyertown, PA) car that he bought off the original owner; a little old lady who bumped everything with it he said! <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif He did a nice job on the resto.
