I've been building cars as a hobby for about 20 years.  Around 16 years ago I sold this one because I needed the money.  It was a sad day.  A friend of mine bought.  Unfortunately he is no longer able to drive it. His family sold it back to me this weekend.  I call her "Ruby".  She is my Wildchild.

I would like to keep her.  But, my nephew made wants to buy her.  I think that he'll have to wait. :)

When I was building the car my sister and family visited me.  My nephew was in High School.  He asked me if he could drive it when I got it finished.  I told him that if he became Valedictorian of his High School that I'ld let him have it for the Prom.  He did become Valedictorian. I shipped the car from NH to AZ and back so that he could have it.  I limited the throttle and had his Dad follow him all of the time with the family van. 

I hadn't used this car as my Avatar.  But, I did have another car with a similar look as it. 

I have a disease.  I can' stop building.  You can see that I like a similar style. 

Here's the car that was my Avatar.
