My name is Gary and I live in northwest Indiana. I have a love for cars that words cannot explain. The vic was my first car, and my whole family has had their part in in this project. Thanks to my mom for not complaining when I had the living room full of car parts, thanks to my brother, Joe, for helping with misc. jobs such as removing the transmission and engine, thanks to my girlfriend, Stephanie, for painting my alternator bracket, and for not leaving me when I spent so much time on this car. But mostly I thank my dad, because this would not be possible without him. He has taught me everything I know about cars, and the quality time we spent together doing this will never be forgotten. I bought the vic in '01 for $600.00 from a laid off LTV Steel worker who needed money to buy christmas presents for his family. Since I have owned this car, I have done the following:
