Hello to start off I'm new here. I'm 16, still in highschool and just bought 1927 Model T with a Chevy 350. Ford 9 inch rear end with a Powerglide transmission. Me and my dad have been building a 1968 camaro but I kind of abandoned him lately. I'm in my 3rd year of auto body at my highschool and I learn a lot at home.

Story of how we got it:
Our neighbor has been storing it for the last 9 years for a friend. It hasn't been run in 4 or 5 years, and behind a fence without a tarp or anything. Me and my dad saw it there every time we went to his house and just thought how cool it was and what a shame. Well a couple years later the owner wants to sell it, but doesn't want to do any work to it. Made an offer for 3k and he said okay, after our neighbor helped us with the purchase of course. Me and my 19 year old brother paid for it and were going fix it up and drive it.
We pulled it home, and got the engine running in about 30 minutes, 30 minutes later were riding around the neighbor in it. Anyway here's a couple of pictures. In a couple of weeks were taking it to the NSRA car show in Tampa. Just got it registered and legal, but we took the tail panel/trunk out to replace and fix the rust spots. So can't drive it for a couple more days.

Made an offer for $3k and he was weary about it at first but said yes in the end. My sons paid for it and are going fix it up and drive it.

In a couple of weeks were taking it to the NSRA car show in Tampa. When our camaro gets finished, we will be going to shows together.

The day it pulled up.
