Early Retirement

[jmcarter]

If today’s youth don’t have the luxury of enjoying some of what we enjoyed given the right guidance and mentoring I think they have the same opportunity to pursue their passions (one of ours was cars, theirs may be PlayStation but potato, potahto). My experience is they are also willing to work hard toward those goals. My focus is helping my grandkids, church youth, whoever to be good citizens over their entire lifetime.

Nice Camaro Jeff, I drove a SS396/325 Chevelle….fun car…then my world turned upside down with a 68 Charger.

Funny how cars transform Jim. Here is a picture a year later after the wheels were changed, the 302 came out and a new crate motor 427/425 with all L-88 cam and valvetrain was installed. A set 0f 4.88s went in, Moroso Cable drive tach and shutoff (pretty rare and its still laying here somewhere), Hookers, Lakewood,11 lbs Hayes Aluminum Flywheel. 11.80s was pretty good back then for high school kid. This picture was taken in my parents driveway which was a hundred miles from my home of Zanesville. Bet that drive there was sweet with those 4.88's .. LOL
BTW. The yellow Z in the first picture was owned by a kid named Lawson and shortly later had dual 4's and a tunnel ram sticking through that hood, but my big block ate him for lunch. .. Good times
