For me...at the tender age of 14...I received a body shell and most of thee frame of a '32 Ford 3 window coupe.
I worked on the little beast for 2 years...rebuilt an Olds 324 with a J2 setup (3 deuces)..and for my birthday at 16, my dad assisted me with the grand total of $50 to get "unsatisfied judgement" insurance and a set of plates.
She was painted baby blue with white interior and a set of home made lakes pipes (no mufflers)!
Drove her for several years, then entered military...sold her to a good friend...he still has her...but now she has a bunch of chrome.
Nothing like the past....life was easier then...and gas was about $.26 a gallon if I remember correctly.
