My 68'

Over the next couple years I worked and went to school and spent my free time working on my car. It went through lots of "looks". In 2003 I won the 68' and up class at the Angel's Camp show and it was a highlight for all of the hard work. I had lots of people tell me that I had one of the first primered cars to win a trophy at that show. It always got attention where ever I went.

That car was my daily driver for 7 years, and I never had a major problem with it. It had a 1600cc single port with a stock carb, 1.25 rockers, and a header with custom exhaust. We even drove it about 1000 miles one weekend to go down to a car show in Las Vegas. It always did good and got me home safe.

I was driving around Christmas 2008, doing some shopping when I saw headlights at my drivers door. I tried to turn at the last minute, but there was nothing I could do. I ended up ripping off the whole front end of a Chevy Trailblazer. The damage wasn't to bad to my car. Just a fender, bumper, and wheel. I ended up parking it on the side of the house and haven't driven it since. One of these days I will pull it back out and get it on the road again.
