Mom said, "You are not going to get your drivers license until you graduate from high school and your certainly aren't going to have a car until you graduate from college. "

I was going on fourteen, and two weeks later I had purchased a '33 Ford 3 window coupe body, duece radiator shell, a 48 Ford frame, and a complete Olds J2 set up from a 57 Olds. I guess she thought that from those parts, it would never be together. Before my 15th birthday she was a runin'! That thing ate all my paper route and snow shovlin' money. The engine set back yeilded pretty good handling and dang, would those rear tires light up! First time I drove it around the block, old "Smokey" spotted me and gave me 3 tickets! Unsafe vehicle, too loud and, no plates! Fixed it all up with new glass packs and drove it down for inspection - passed just fine, and Mom helped me out for the court appearance. Drivers license and wheels at 15! Had over a hundred bucks in my tray coupe!
