Re: Cheap Cars for Teenager

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm rainsing two boys that are getting A's and B's in advanced classes.
Let them learn and go to college and make some money.
They can find a love for cars on the way or not.
Thye are exposed to my interest all the time, They will either choose to develop their own or find something else. They both do sports and music, I'm not worried about their love of cars at all.
 Besides which, I can't fidn time to get mine finished up, let alone another project, Not going to happen till at least one of these two is on the road!

>Not willing to help work on it? What kind of kids are you raising Mark!! ;> 
>You could always suggest getting another American and make a father/son project out of it. 199/232 running first, then later go the 4.0L route after some driving experience has been earned. Or a Spirit/Hornet. Make a modern rendition of the AMX two seater from a Spirit. Again, a four/auto would be good for driving experience with a 4.0L or V-8 swap for later.
