      Default Newbie from Louisiana

      I have just bought an 81 for my 16 year old little girl. The car is just a shell and we have a long way to go and a lot of parts to buy. I had to push my own project aside because i wanted to build this car with her. I am sure i will be posting a lot when we realy get deep in this project so thanks in advance for the help.

      some more pics. I even had my 11 year old in on some sanding.



      The vette in the background is my project. I have put it on hold to do this with my daughter.



      giving some instruction.


      We hope to have the car done in about 6 months.
      just a bone stock 302, c4, wheels and tires, some nice paint and we will lower it a 1 1/2" nothing major just a nice little street car.

      Welcome to FEP, you have found the right place for anything foureyed related. We got more mustang nuts here than a pecan tree has pecans. Your project looks to be about the same place where mine is, just a empty shell. It's great to see a father and child working on a car project together willingly, I need a cattle prod to get my two oldest boys to do anything like that. Put up a build thread in the car show and tell section and document everything from start to finish, we love reading threads like that! Again, welcome to the boards!
