Not on this board but there is a lot of stuff out there on the internet.

I had a 69 Camaro convertible and it was too expensive for me to restore. This was in 76 so he was not too old. However it was rusted out, the systems were junk, etc. He did run ok but when I was at Army training, my dad junked it because he would not start.

Well I need make pretty parts, am missing the front grill, trim pieces, though he paint them and they look great. Need interior parts, a new dash, etc. Being 25 years old means another cars dash boards are trash too.

from what youve said, u feel like noone under 25 should be allowed to own a mk3 supra. they should all be saved, locked away for your generation (more importantly, you)

Well, as long as they do not wreck them. My friend in college had a 57 Chevy Bel Air. Was driving with him and all of a sudden he was running over all of the side markers on the road and started to sideswipe telephone poles. He stalled and I made it out the window to safety. I ran out into the Arizona desert. Well he left and I started to walk toward Douglas Arizona. So torn clothes from the escape and cuts from glass went limping down the road until given a ride to hospital. Hey I was alright just looked bad. Anyhow genius tried to take out a pole directly. The result was telephone pole 7, punk 0. Anyhow I have no trouble with younger drivers having as long as they do not do the STUPID.

Means I am being "playful", you can call me a kid anytime you like. I do not feel my age or act like it. Age to a big extent is a state of mind.
