Today is David, Isaac and Jacob's 18th birthday! Their present is that they have been released from hot rod building - in reality, their mechanic abilities are well beyond this kit car, and their interest has waned significantly. In fact, over the past 9 months, we have stalled building and David has been working on his 1976 corvette and Jacob on the 1966 Mercury cyclone (comet). For the vette David took it all the way down to the frame which needed to be replaced - too much rust and rebuilt the engine. David has been driving it for a few weeks now - quite an accomplishment as he started it at 14 yrs old. For the comet, Jake is in the process of changing out the engine, transmission, front and rear suspension, while adding a rollbar. amazing job by both of them and well beyond what we are doing on the hot rod.
Here are a few photo's:
