I wish I could have been there (I was only nine). By this time I was already listening to groups like Velvet Underground and Zappa, thanks to that wonderful American institution, the flea market (and a really cool and understanding stepfather).
The Rusty Nuts is a blog that lets folks track my progress (or lack of) as I attempt a Christine movie car inspired restoration of a classic Forward Look era 1957 Plymouth Belvedere.
This is a long term project!
And what's so special about me? I've never attempted anything like this before in my life!
