Thanks, guys! I've always worked on cars and admired older cars the most. I met my husband and he had a 68 GTO. I had no idea what the heck it was because I was into early Mustang fastbacks. Going to the Pontiac Nationals at Norwalk for 11 years; I fell in love with the early 67-68 firebirds. I finally decided I wanted a 68. We went to look at my firebird and believe me, it was rough!! My husband wasn't sure if we should get it and I said lets do it! I figured if he had a car, I needed one too! While he will help me fix it up and paint it; I want to be right in there with him and learn all the ins and outs of my car. Plus, with it being rough, I know what is bad and can replace it and also put on new performance parts as I go. I also don't expect my husband to pay for all the parts because it is my car. It is a slow process, but I am learning more every day! I know that I definitely will enjoy my car more because I will be a big part in making it whole again. I do not want to be like some other women/girls who have a older car and don't know anything about them or only know what their husbands/boyfriends/dads tell them about it. I don't want guys talking to my husband for info because "I don't know". In my opinion, if you own the car then you should know all about it. Oh, and I definitely am planning on taking it down the strip; I got to have a little fun too!
