    Well even though this has been done before...

    I'm 19 and have grown up in an auto repair shop all my life. And have grown up next to an upholstery shop, welding shop, and body shop for just as long...(pretty bad ass)

    I don't have a damn pic of anything (not good at taking progress pics)...But I've got a 1926 Willys Whippet (turned RPU) I'm putting on an 18-22 Dodge Bros frame, with a 248 Straight 8 Buick, 4spd Saginaw, '52 Olds rear, '29 Poncho Grille Shell, and a lot of other random shit..
    That's my biggest project...

    The almost finished project is my '94 Chevy 1500 with an Olds 425 and TH400 (it's gonna be my daily, to keep miles off my Cutlass).

    I have a 1980 Olds Cutlass Supreme with 65k miles, 260 V8, white, maroon interior, very nice car...Got her for Christmas, wouldn't give her away for anything.

    I'm also into antique John Deere tractors, and antique lawn and garden tractors...I've got way to much shit...

    I'm 17 and I didnt really grow up around cars, my parents are pretty mundane so i'm not sure where I came from. My uncle is a mechanic though.

    As my screen name implies i have a 1950 Studebaker pickup (half ton). I was gonna drop in a stude 259 (with a McCulloch) but the truck runs and drives and is in really good condition so people have pretty much convinced me to keep it stock. So now I have a v8 and a need for a stude to put it in

    These pics are crappy and outdated. more are on my profile and updated ones coming soon.

    I'm 20 also. Always had older cars, finally got my favorite. '57 Pontiac Chieftain. I'm still learning how to work on/fix/build cars.

    My Mother always asks me why I can't drive a Civic or Acura like a normal girl. Haha.

    You guys kick ass. I just turned 27 and some days I feel old, like when I read this thread and when I teach 6th grade industrial arts. Other days I'll hang out with an older hot rodder and he'll remind me what a kid I still am. Keep at it guys, this is for life. I'm glad you are getting an early start to develop those skills.

    I'm 20 with a 1942 Caddy I've been working on for a few years. It's a stock restoration though, so I really want to get a 53/54 Chevy hardtop to make a mild custom out of.
