Sure,it looked decent,but a car can never be nice enough:rolling:
so i decided to start taking on a BIG CHALLENGE (especially since im still only 14:rockon:)
my plans are to sell my 94 vert to fund a 331 stroker for the car. i have already purchased all of my heads cam intake stuff but since im gonna be in there i might as well do it right the first time! i plan to smooth and paint the engine bay and hide the wiring harness as well.

Heres where the i am at as of now

Not a big fan of the two tone color scheme but the interior looks beastly. Wish i had started building my project car (or any car really) before i got my license! Sh!t, i wish i knew half as much cars as you do when i was your age. Where do you get money to build a build like this? Mad jealous.

Thanks everyone!

I havent sold the vert yet. i just put it up for sale yesterday. I work for my dad at his tire shop for $20 a day on non-school days. it adds up! plus asking for money for christmas instead of toys and electronics that ill never use. I have funded both cars BY MYSELF with the exception of the tires on my coupe. my dad paid for them. Nothing else!

Hey man, looks great... where is advance NC neways?

Thanks man! Its about 10 mins away from Winston-Salem.

Great work. I bought my 91 5.0 in my sig when I was 14 as well. Busted my ass to pay cash for it. Now I've had it 10 years and it will never be sold if I have anything to do with it. I love that car.

Nice work bud. You've got a lot of paitence for a young guy, and I have to give your credit for that. Most guys your age would have torn through that car and trashed it. But it looks like your taking your time and paying attention to all the details. Very nice work and nothing over the top.

Take your time and keep up the nice work!
