I was where you are at your age! Quick tip - Think outside of the box when it comes to making money! Many times this will yield you a career that will make you more money than you could hope for now!

I'll try and get more updated pictures since I saw the car last weekend on my way up to go whitewater rafting and it has the radiator and A/C condensor mounted along with a few other little details.

Well said, John. When I was 17 I had a '66 Ford Fairlane, and I desperately wanted to give that car the "treatment". I tried funding that dream working in a bakery, going in at 2:30am and making donuts. When I left the place to go to college, the owner, who is a great guy, told me two important things - 1. Think outside the box, and 2. Don't ever be average. A year later I dropped out of college and I opened my first of several pizza parlors.


John, your car, and the workmanship going into, is killer!
Can't wait to see more photos!

Happy 4th!

Funny how that happens eh?!!?

Just to elaborate, when I say "Think outside the box" I mean be aware of opportunities that present themselves! Many times you're so busy in the grind that you don't see an opportunity when it's presented to you.

Entrepreneurship is the fastest way to retirement and is much more satisfying on the way there!
