Projects Not bad for a first car, thread

Don't listen to the haters great start keep it up !

 

Finally at my house safe in my garage

 

Nice, Glad to see her home

 

The comments have been positive. It's great to see a young guy tackling a cool project. Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

 

Hey, nice to see a fellow young Aussie! The Chevy looks like it's coming along nicely, and since it's a 6, you should be able to drive it on your P-Plates as well! I really have to wait 'til my opens, cause my '55 Ford is a V8.

 

Took the front panels and grille off all by myself today

 

Same here except mine was a Pontiac and it was the same age as me (in 1968!).
looking forward to the build. remember it is not just a car it is an educational adventure. How old do you need to be to drive?

 

Congratulations,I am happy to see a young guy pickup up the hot rod torch like many of us did at a similar age.

You have time on your side so enjoy the learning experience. HRP

 

Sick first project, keep up the good work!

 

So rad to see someone the same age as me into the same thing. Ive started my American car passion with this 1966 plymouth
Not as cool as yours though

If i remember correctly, as its been a while (i'm 25 now).. we get our learners at 16.. used to have it for a year but now its a year + 100 hours experience.. then p plates for 3 years (provisional, different states have different rules).. then opens.

 

Yep, learners at 16 then 1 year on Red P plates, 2 Years on Greens. In Queensland anyway.

 

Here in Victoria we have to have our red p plates for 1 year but our green p's for atleast 3 years

Nothing wrong with 4-doors, especially in a car like that! I've owned and loved plenty of 4-doors, and almost picked up another one last week.

 

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK... DON'T KNOCK THE MOREDOORS.. I PREFER MOREDOORS OVER A 2 DOOR ANY DAY..

 

Kick ass kid!!! Remember a digital camera, a sharpie and zip-lock bags are your friend. Take your time and keep posting.

 

Good for you! Don't let anybody stop you from your dreams!

The boot's being used as storage while the boot lids on the roof

 

Lots of zip-lock bags already, all labeled

 

Cool. looks like you are keeping track of things as you take them apart. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We all enjoy watching the younger crowd getting involved with old cars.

 

Yea take pictures of screws in the part as they come off too.....saves time later playing "screw detective"

 

Took the 'plates off the other day to find that they were two different ones
