My dad had a 1950 Chevy and a 1954 Chevy on the side of our house for as long as I can remember....he eventually sold the 50, but we decided to restore the 54 when I was about 9. We pulled it all apart, we bought an aircompressor and a sand blaster and we blasted it. We were going to restore it all original. The day we took the blue flame 6 motor out some dude stopped by and had a 1954 corvette he was restoring without the engine or trans. The guy offered us a rediculous amount of money because the engine so happened to match the build date of his Vette. Right then and there we sold it, bought the ZZ4, and we started to build it as a hotrod...unfortunately my dad bought his 66 Thunderbird, then his 68 GTO Convertible that sidetracked us big time. I cut grass, shoveled snow, raked leaves, saved birthday money and did everything I could to make money to buy what at the time was my dream car (a 69 Chevelle) but I couldnt afford them. When I was 13, I found my 64. I bought it because it had well over 6k in body work, brakes, and a 12bolt with 4:10s already in it...the rest is history until in 2003 3 weeks after I graduated from HS, and my Jeep was starting to decide it wanted to break down more than stay running. I put it out front for sale and this guy bought it within 30 minutes...Two days later when my dad traded our Van in for our Pacifica I saw what would soon be my 94 Z28 get traded in by an older lady. The rest is history.
