I'm 37!!! Shut up higgs!

I was 10? I built my first model V8 (the see thru they sell at hobby stores) 14 when I helped my dad rebuild an OLDS 350, and various other installs of motors and cleaning quadrajet carbs! Lol wow. Anyways by the time I was 16 my dad had bought a 92 454 SS p/u and I was Hooooked like a crackhead junkie! My dad had gotten some BBC ported n polished heads and bumped the Comp to 10.75 from like 8.5-9? A Holley carb headers,cam, and raised his gear to a 3.73? From a stock 4.10! Then we did the bell tech suspension and lowering some traction bats from Lakewood for the leaf springs and we were out looking for lightnings! Lol good times.

Then to top it off my uncle opens an auto parts place with a garage out back abd it was ON like donkey kong, I was rebuilding alternators and helping replace transmissions and motors and lots of damn brakes. By now I'm 18 with my first car a 94 z28 and added a LPE honker CAI and I thought I was doing something. By now I have a good job and traded that for a 95 TA. added Lt's and catback and reused the CAI. Now it's 98 and I get a Ws6 and it was an extensive list and found out about the oiling issues on 98ls1's the hard way. Now it's 2001 and I traded that for what you see in my SIG and have been non stop. That's my resume in a nut shell. But not just limited to my builds but countless others.

Now Mike your 21 please respect your elders. We'll teach you a Lil sum sum if you will. If we can't I'll tell you. Lol

i have worked with other cars. i also take classes at my local college in summer. to my camaro, i have done basic bolt ons,. i have a good understanding about engine building for not having a lot of hands on. there is only much i can do. busy with college, not home. again for a 21 year old today, i would say i have a better "resume" then most my age. i really dont wanna get into a lot of detail on what i have done.

litle88 · 09-09-2012, 08:28 PM
