Hulk Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hey I just tought I'd share this story with you guys. I'm 28, I'm a car mechanic and I grew up around cars. My grandpa had old cars when I was a kid and I pass most of my summers in car shows. I always wanna have an old car to restore but never got the time, money, space and all everything that pull me away from it. In 1998 my grandpa bought a 1976 Lincoln Continental Mark IV with the intention to restore it. As life goes on he never got the chance to do it, but roll for a few years as a summer car. A few years ago he stop using it and stall it in the driveway. Years pass and it just sat there. A few weeks ago a start some painting at my grandparents house and my grandpa told me that since I'd love that car from the first time he buy it and that it doesn't serve to anything, he just gave me the car. What I can't belive that, I don't even own one for my everyday life and now a got an old car to work on it. Here's some pics of the 1:1 car I will be working on my weekends. I just wanna shared this story with you, because the beginning of it is what made me love cars and eventually get me I this hobby, since I doesn't had a 1:1 car, I turned myself to the smaller scales. Thanks grandpa Hulk P.S: Anyone of you knows if this car was ever made in a kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
