Wrenches, what was your 1st build?

Just curious.

My first was a 70 Chevelle back when I was 15 with my father. Don't have any pictures of it though.

My first true "build" was back in '93. I had an extremely clean 1989 5.7 IROC and I put an SN93 Paxton on it along with some other stuff. I sure had a lot of fun for what it was.

These are the for sale pictures and the only ones I have left.

First build was a 67 RS Camaro back in the late 70s, bored and stroked 350. Fun car but I went a little crazy on the cam.

I'm game. My first and only complete restoration. Mrs. Hotlapzl1 on the left and me in the white t-shirt. Late 90s

I remember liking a similar one that was on my paper route when I was a young teen. I bought my Trans Am in 82 when I was 19 off a dealer car lot.

Did you see the episode of Garage Squad where they helped a guy finish a car similar to your old baby?
