Lucky kids
« on: December 28, 2005 - 05:32:35 PM »
I was down at Cape Cod Tech all last week for a Marine Tech course, and I come across this beauty in the school. Yes it's a real Hemi RM21J Road Runner  :droolingbounce: With 15 year old high school kids working on it :22yikes: Nothing against the kids, but WTF :swear: talk about getting spoiled at a young age. Dont think they will ever understand what it's like to dive under a car in the snow and ice to work on it :pullinghair:
  And Yes, I'm just jealous :banghead: I hope this beauty leaves a lasting impression on them :thumbsup:

I would jump at the chance to work on such a car and would take more pride in the work I was doing on it.

Reminds me of one of my old cars.  You can check out what the next owner did to it after it left my hands.  Complete resto documented with pics and text. The "old" version is how it was when I owned it.  Here is the address:  http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/6764/rr.html   enjoy!   :cooldancing:  .......................Oldschool

Let's just hope it doesn't leave the school with a fart tube exhaust, japaneese graphics and 20" rims.

Yea, I talked to one of the 15 yr. old kids working on it. Asked if he was into "these type of cars"? He said, he and his father just got done dissasembling his pops 55 Chevy. So at least he's heading down the right road.........but the wrong path( :eek4: Chevy  :puke::roflsmiley:  J/K
