    The first vehicle that was mine to drive was my Grandpa's yellow Chevy LUV..I loved that truck. My mom's mom and dad went all over the country in that truck with a camper on the back. Grandpa had a shop and a junkyard on the side of his house he had welded up a 50 gallon tank for that truck.
    My dad randomly took it away and gave it to his business partner for the partners daughter to drive. She wrecked it in a month.
    The replacement was a Datsun F10 hatchback. It looked like a mini Gremlin somebody had put a series of stripes on the back quarter panel like a gremlin. It was the first front wheel drive that was in fairly large circulation.
    Racing through neighborhoods with my friends that little Dotson was faster because it pulled through the corners with that front wheel drive. I still prefer drifting with rear wheel drive though.

Drove it 2wd while I looked for a Toyota front axle, then the upper control arm ripped off the frame coming into the driveway. Swapped the Toyota axle in 5 nights after work outside in the winter, brr. Great little truck!!

We did a large spider on the hood. It would run 100MPH with the Overhead Valves and a .015 Head Shave. Drove it until I sold it to another car guy. It was one of the most fun rides to drive I ever had. Good Luck on this new project.

    When I was a kid I spent a lot of weekend trips with my Dad going round scrap yards getting parts for his car, getting parts as cheap as he could. But the two things he never skimped on were spark plugs and brake shoes/pads. He said if you bought cheap plugs, you'll be buying them again not much later. He drove a procession of old bangers while we were kids but they always started, always ran well, and always stopped when you needed them to.
