I would try and look into a military job that could translate into something once you decide to get out. Medical or Aircraft may be a better option. Good luck with the Hawk!

My first car at 16 was a '78 Z28 (wish I still had it). That was back in '88 and I've had F-Bodies ever since. Good luck with the car and project. I know I did stupid stuff in my first car and I pretty much haven't changed. It's hard not to.

Ahh, what's the build number? If I didn't miss it.

Sure did, its a passion I guess. Its like me and my dad. I remember riding in his 73 Nova as a kid. He had cragar SS wheels and pin stripes. I thought it was the baddest car on the planet. Then He bought one of the first 85 Trans Am's in Austin so its been TA's ever since.

My Dad and I built my first car (restored '69 Camaro). I plan on doing the same with my Son, he is 13 now. Congrats on the new car, I'm sure you'll respect it and cherish it.
