Just for Fun Question

Just for fun, what was your first car/truck and what's the first "custom" thing you did to it?

I guess, since I'm asking the question, I should go first. My first car was a 1978 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham. The first "custom" thing that I did to it was remove the AM/FM radio and install an AM/FM 8-Track. Big time customizing!

1964 VW Beetle. Did not do a thing to it as I bought it before I had my license.

Next up was my '72 Super Beetle. I popped all of the studs out of the tires (this was back home in Alaska).

After this was a standard '74 VW Beetle (see a theme here?) and I added speakers, a head unit and popped in a set of tinted rear side windows.

79 Malibu 4Dr. First thing I did was headers, duals, then rims and air shocks.

Mine was a 70 Chevelle. Bought used with 36000. Miles Paid 695.00 at Jeff Wyler in 1979. I to installed air shocks , rims,headers and tunes.

71 Chevelle 402, turbo 400, 12 bolt. First weekend I had it I added air bags in the rear springs, ( left over from the old famly wagon) and a full set of chrome reverse with baby moons and Kelly Springfield N50s in the rear.

'66 F-100 long bed. It was a ugly green work truck at my dad's shop. Had a rod hanging out the side of the old 352. Pulled a 390, 4bbl out of a Galaxie and dropped in it. Promptly twisted the u-joint out of the differential. The yoke was wallowed out from running a bad joint for who knows how long. Found a 3.73 limited slip out of a mail truck and stuck it in. Still had to put a piece of steel plate in the back to get it to hook.

67 Dodge Dart GT I had when I was 14. I put in an after market steering wheel in it. I didn't have a puller. I put my legs up on it pulling while my left hand was on top pulling then I smacked the stud with a hammer until it popped off, smacking me in the face. HARD!

Mine was a 73 VW Super Beetle, It was my grandpa's he had an oak shifter knob made for it.. I left it alone cause I liked it the way it was and I didn't have any money....lol... That was the first cool car.. my first car was an 87 Cavalier.... wow it was digital and the dash would go out from time to time.... then I would drive my other grandpas 72 El Camino I hated that thing because a tramatic Childhood accident, but it did killer burnouts...
