			wow, what a great start for a 16 yr old.  My father bought me my first car when I was 16 (1972) it was a 1967 Mercury Cougar for $300..  It will be fun to get it running and get it back to original, it will take some money & time, but ask for help on this forum and FEP and your friends.  Dont get discouraged, some days will be frustrating. Good luck.

			I will save a lot of money by doing stuff myself and with the help of my dad. I have learned a lot on this forum (knowing what to look for like equipment mounting holes and a lot more).

			These times when you are documenting are some of the most necessary and critical things you have to do to keep track of what is going on during a restoration. Sam, you are doing a great job and keep those photos coming! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Keep up the good work, I'm sure your dad is proud of you too! A chip off the old block in a manner of speaking.  |

			  The piggy is sick!!Put some gas in the tank, turned the key and it sputtered to life again. Poor thing ran like it was having a seizure and was blowing dark grey smoke out the pipes ![]() Good thing is is that it runs This car will be much easier to restore than my 84 GT, it will go a lot faster too since it is complete (I have a large parts list for the 84, it is at around 5k with new parts).  |
