I was when I was a teenager.
My dad had a shop behind our house and I helped him restore a dozen cars/trucks during my high school years.
The ones that are worth mentioning;
51 chevy coupe
53 chevy coupe
55 chevy coupe
54 and 56 chevy truck
67 Ford Mustang
A lot of hard work but the end results were worth it.

Was always my dream when I had my 67 Fairlane to put a 67 side Oiler 427 in it ! Those motors were flat out unbeatable back then .

Used to be a 53-54 Chevy named " Snuff Box " that ran at Circle Drag Strip in Dallas that was absolutely unbeatable. Some black guys owned it and I was almost embarrassed to run my '57 Chevy against it. Got beat everytime as did everyone else.

just stating that for a friend I've seen that several times on local strips. Not so much at Green Valley. Nitrous and turbo's can turn a 4 banger into a monster.

Love classics! I've got a 68 GTO that found 15 years ago. Numbers matching, 400 HO with 4 speed. This car was a in bad shape when I found. Fun getting it put together. If you look closely at the left fender you'll see a ding there. Motorcycle fell over and smacked it right before I took the picture.  ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-18006-25897-20190518_093432.jpg)
