Default I bought another vette this week....

This is my latest project vette, this one should take about 7 hours to finish as opposed to 7 years on the last one!!!!

I can't wait to see the look on my two boys faces when they find this sitting in the garage for them on Christmas morning!!!!

This thing rocks! It has a bunch of realistic sound effects, a working AM/FM radio,working headlights, and forward and reverse gears!

I can't even imagine how excited they will be, they love my vette, and they both want one when they grow up. I wish I had toys this cool when I was growing up!

Do I hear a "Father of the Year" nomination!!

Great gift and I'm sure they will be gong wild. If you ask most any Car Guy, they'll tell you it all started at that age when they got the bug...then its just a matter of time and money for the rest of it to fall into place.

But as true car guys-in-the-making, the next question becomes, what's gonna be their first mod!!!

Happy Holidays Bruce

Maybe we will upgrade these calipers to some Wilwoods or Brembos along with some drilled rotors, then maybe I will swap out the motors for some higher current units, and then...........

If you go with red calipers on the 72, you should paint their's red too! Would look on a yellow car...there, your first mod!!

Very cool gift Bruce. I'm sure I heard you call the boys Crash and Smash so I think we can guess what kind of mod will be their first!
