just how cool is this anyway?....
as much as i'd enjoy it back then, i'm living in the age of technology. and together, the technology and all the old cars that have survived we can get them looking new again!!OK, I was born in '45, grew up street racing from Whittier Blvd., to Downey to the Valley in So Cal. It was a time when a raised '55 chevy straight axle with mechanical injection was not even uncommon to see on the street. And on weekends we had at least four or five nearby drag strips to choose from.
Now for you poor youngsters, I will trade you some great memories for ten or fifteen of your years. Whose first?
I'm with him. As cool as your memories may be, i'll make my own.
agreed!
we appreciate these amazing pieces of machinery even more!!
agreed!
and i think since we WEREN't alive back then, we appreciate these amazing pieces of machinery even more!!
i hear you on that one. my friends just dont understand why i'd spend time n money building an old car. i don't understand why they wouldn't want to! but when me and my dart blow past their little japanese cars made of recycled aluminum, i gain that respect that's deserved!Yeah... talk to me about making memories in a couple years.... should be terrorizing my town in a dart by then.
Being born in 92... none of my friends get me at all. They look at my funny when I tell them I am going to build a dodge dart with no rear seat, no heater, no side view mirrors, no radio, small bucket seats, racing harnesses, and a roll bar.... oh and with my steelie and spokes wheel combo.
Haha but it will be cool rolling up in a car like that and having all the older guys looking around for the owner of the car and having some punk kid wave to them and say he owns it.
