Thanks.

Heres my build thread for those that want to see my work

 

yeah but who's putting the dough down?

 

I am. I have a job at an auto shop, cleaning and helping out when I work extra. we built a couple pretty cool "hot rods" as my boss calls them

 

cool story bro, keep it up

 

Thanks, I was looking forward to seeing your camaro all done. How many cars did you use to get it how you wanted it? lol

 

Wish I could of afforded my swap at 15 damn

 

When I did my first swap the OP was 2 years old. I guess im getting old, when I was 15 the TPI was brand new......

 

Started my car last night for the first time, I'm 25

 

I'm 15 too

 

When I was 15, my attention was on the girls, not cars. There's no way I could have found a job that paid enough $$$ for the swap, extras, insurance, etc while being a full time student. I barely had money to have a car let alone invest in it.

 

I bought my 68 Camaro and back-halved it when I was 15 and stuffed a BBC in it before I turned 17 with the money I made from working (Honda's are big in my area and the muscle car craze hadn't hit yet, so it was cheap). Keep the hobby going young man, and remember when you're old and grey to pass it on to the new generation.

When I was 15 LS1s were too new and "odd" and the LS6 just came out. People were still calling them "350s."

LS1Nova71: Not getting old, just becoming a "grey beard" wrench-turner.

 

Man, you talk like your old. When you were 15 Ls1 were too new? When I was 15 there was no such thing as an LS1. You make me feel old!

 

when I was 15 they hadnt made an LT1 since 1970 let alone an ls1 ,and the talk was about the new 3rd gen f body that was coming out the next year , 2nd gens were still new lol

 

I never said I was old, hell when I turn 75 I won't be old. But I can tell you when I was 15 an LS1 swap was unheard of. Now an LS1 is about as common as a SBC was then.

FWIW, you're considered old nowadays when you dubbed mix tapes for your walkman and didn't have a cell phone at 13.

 

Started my LT1 swap when I was 19, just about 23 now. Still yet to drive it

 

Started my LS swap at 19. Drove it out of the garage a few weeks after my 23rd birthday. I wouldn't even get my hands dirty until I got my first car at 15. Now I'm a technician

 

Who gave you the job, let alone the ride to it?

 

Guilty...I am

 

This really makes me feel old! This thread is getting depressing.

And when I was 13, if you would have told everyone that we'd have little cell phones that do all the crap that they do now, they would have put you in a straight jacket and locked you up un a padded room....
