Went to the drags in Alton, IL with my dad when I was ten or so. Started customizing and painting my bicycles until 13 or 14. Went to work in my Dad's service station, and hung out with the NHRA F Dragster champ. Customized a '52 Chevy with a Corvette six, rolled pans, split Pontiac bumpers, leaded hood and deck when I was 16. I was hooked early.Jack

It's kinda funny, Hotrodpaint, but that's kinda what happened to me. I was always into cars cause of Dad's 49 Ford club coupe, but long after that in 58 I bought a Hot Rod Magazine and it got me really going. I was also 10. (small world).
My first car was a 52 Chevy in 62 when I was 16. Modified the heck out of it (within a teenagers budget) and have never stopped.
DOH. Just dawned on me I was 12 not 10 in 58. Man, I am getting so old I can't even subtract.

The first model car I built was a 32 Ford roadster by Revell in the mid 50's.
How did you get hooked on cars?
