That's awesome to see kids (And especially a GIRL) to take an interest in the classic car hobby and want to learn hands-on how to complete an aggressive overhaul. Kudo's to mom & dad for all the help & encouragement!! I have enough problems just getting my daughter to clean her room!!  :bricks1:

What an AWESOME story! I railroad for a living, and at my away from home terminal (Marysville, Kansas) there is a car dealership that I pass by going to the hotel, and then back again on the way to the depot. They have what looks to be a factory fresh red Fiero sitting behind the glass on the showroom floor. I haven't seen it up close, but I sure wouldn't be ashamed to drive it! I've always liked the Fiero, and for some odd reason, the AMC Pacer. Especially the Pacer X, or the Pacer wagons. There is a car dealer by the name of Boss Motors in Maryysville (not the one where the Fiero is at) anyway, he supposedly has 20 or so Boss Mustangs. A few years ago, the Hot Rod Power Tour happened to pass thru Marysville, and they had a picture of 10 or so of his Boss Mustangs parked in front of his dealership in the Hot Rod magazine. My numbers may be off, but he had a LOT of them! Many good things hide in small towns.

Marysville has a pretty good car show around Mothers Day every year, and I've got to see things there that I've never seen anywhere else. 2 Mercedes gull wing cars, one white, one black. A '65 HEMI Coronet, and all kinds of neat stuff. Lot's of people stop at the Marysville car show on their way to a Kansas City show.
