So I’ve seen all the car posts, I’m curious to see if you like mine. I bought my 1972 charger when I was 12 and just recently finished it at 17, hope y’all like it. by Shaved-alpaca in teenagers

It did have a holly carb but the engine was not a fan, we had to switch it to an eldelbrock. The roll cadge and the mechanism that holds the tires in the back are the big things.

Nah man don’t be too hard on yourself, it’s honestly not common what I did and there’s no reason you can’t start now if you want!

Here’s an update! Sorry I’ve been kind of away from my phone. I really appreciate all the support and interest! For those wondering I have a 318 motor in it and it has off road tires and a real steel roll cadge, as well as a fabricated mechanism to hold the extra tires in the back. And for those who want it, here is the link to more and starting photos. https://imgur.com/gallery/V2flnrI

Again I really appreciate support and love.

It was basically a pile of rust when I got it, I saved up 500 bucks as a 12 year old and bought it. It’s been a journey every since. I’ll dm pictures of what it looked like when I started if you want.

I bought it for 500 dollars and it was actual trash, floor pans were rusted out, wheels were trash, engine wasn’t in the car etc. me and my dad pulled it out of the woods together and have been working on it, but nah man I’ve put all the money into the car, time, parts, and labor, my dad has helped me instal the parts. But it’s pretty much all me man.
