Thread: My Old Bucket!!!!

So a while back I was building a Hot Rod Class car - 94 4 dr LE (gangster, I know-jk) and as expected I ended up buying a house, then having a son and then having a daughter so it got pushed to the side.. years go by and so did the class I was building the car for.. I live in Socal and thought with fontana and glendale (or wherever that 1/8th mile track is ) around I actually turned it into a slow motion "father and son build" so every so often we'd mess around with the car. News came out that the tracks were closing so being the car was cut and lexaned it made so much more sense to just sell it along with everything else.. So I sold the chassy and am working on selling everything else....

Here's where the crap hits the fan...

For the last 3 days my son's been crying to me about how he wants the car back. He doesn't care what it takes that we get it back and build it.. I tried telling him even if we had it back there's no reason to build it because the next decent track is bakersfield which is too much a pain in the cheeks.. It sucks because I really want the car back too and what's worse is after being to the track a few times my son's just a passionate about building a car and going back...

Just thought I'd share with the SR20 crowd... =)

Hatch a plan to start a new similar project with your son? Maybe some throw-away car that is free and you can slowly "work" on. Doesn't matter if you get anywhere with it, does it really? Or maybe a small go-kart or something instead? Does it really have to be the same exact car?
IMO this is a good problem to have. Your son wanting to work with you and learn.

For sure Bro, I'm with you.. already pitched the shifter cart idea to my boy... hopefully we can somewhere with that.. he had a quad so I'm thinking of getting him a new one, we'll see.. I kinda want to take a bunch of the parts that I still have and build a street/play car but the wife's kinda over me and motor toys for a while since the last car took room forever and I crashed my bike a little while back...

I really wanna build a sleeper though so my boy and I can horse around with something and immediately try it out... we'll see.. =) who knows ya know..
