When I was eighteen, I knew everything (Just like every other teenager) and told my parents, "I'm buying the Camaro I always wanted!" What's worse than that, I went out and bought an '83 with the anemic six-cylinder because I was going to drop in a small block. I promptly sold the Toyota Corolla I was driving and the project car became my daily driver. The result? Well, working part-time at the A & P while going to college and having a girlfriend didn't support putting a small block in my Camaro and the car fell apart piece by piece after driving it in the rain, snow and sleet. I'm 33 now, and FINALLY have a project car to play with. You've got one now; if you plan on keeping it, I'd advise against buying the '79 because then you'd have TWO project cars.

Just my two cents. Now excuse me while I go stick my head in the oven for sounding like an old man.

sound advice.

also, keep your head away from the oven.
