Cool New Project FC.....This is great

Wow its great to work at an auto shop. As some may remember, I wrecked my FC May of last year, and joined the Marine reserves so I was away until December of the same year. Well Now we are finally getting to build yet another FC. Funny thing is we have these kids in High school coming to the shop for a 2 week apprentiship. So we are going to watch over them and have them pull the engine out of the wrecked car and drop it into the straight body I have. Gotta love the schools here in Austin. Free labor! So project FC is back on track and we'll be out for the autox soon.

OUCH!

Seriously though, good luck with the free labor. I'd never put my car in the hands of high school kids, but the price is right!

exactly. Its not like I'm not going to be there watching every little thing they do. I'll be there watching, and hopefully I wont have to do too much.

Oh and Aaron, we discussed the airpump thing long long ago, wouldn't work. plus a friend gave me a brand new K4. But I don't have anything to put it on.

they are going to clean up the engine, and I'm going to show them how to paint it without removing everything from it. I'll also be showing them how to prep and paint a car as well. The car is gonna be pretty badass when we are done.
