haha, im 18, still living at home while I finish up my senior year. Its my dads shop...


Oh and before anybody asks, no my parents did not pay for this. I own my own business, I haul hay during the summer. Every last dime spent on this car has been mine and mine alone. I even have my own tools, you can see the black toolbox in a couple pics.

Its a nice car and an equally nice setup; however, your thread is a bandwidth nightmare. In the future, try to limit your pictures. That is all...
