Query for the girls (or guys for that matter)

[KATWYN]

Katwyn, tell your sister in law to go for it!!!

I have worked in the automotive industry for the last eight years and have just got in and done the work and not bothered about the gender thing. If you're good enough at what you do that speaks for itself. I also have no hesitation in asking for help or an explanation of something if I haven't quite got an understanding of it I'm happy with and don't get the patronising thing happening to me often and if I do I always seem to hold my own. I also have a car which is mine. I don't mind getting my hands dirty if it needs work, I have to clean it on Rod Runs cause its my car.

A friend we go away on Rod Runs with reckons Girls can do anything - so let them.

Answer from Rebecca (using Katwyn's name )

Yep, I know the gender thing is no big deal...(I think people think thats what i'm worried about - but i'm not) I know what you mean, I tend to hold my own with the boys too but the point of my posting was to see if there were any girls into it at my level who were genuinely interested in bouncing ideas
and stuff like that cos you know we like a good gas bag as well

whether there are girls involved or not I will be continuing anyway! by the way Claire..what sort of Hot rod have you got?

Thanks all you guys and girls for in put so far!

Hi Rebecca

I've got a 60 Thunderbird that I bought earlier this year as I sold my later model Thunderbird I used as a daily driver. The 60 is pink with a black top and quite a rare one as it has a sunroof. If you get the Petrolhead its in there this month at Sunset Rod & Custom Club's run. We've just sold our other car which was a 66 Pontiac GTO and will maybe do the pre '49 thing, haven't decided really. We also have a 73 T Bird that we are in the process of shaving, slamming etc but are waiting for parts from the states.

I've also got a good friend with a '39 deluxe coupe that we do a lot of events with. Once you find a club your into and find some like minded peopl I think you will be pleasantly surprised how many woman are out ther doing it and have their own cars etc.

Mrs S.D. has her own '62 Fairlane, she bought it as her own choice of car, we are attemting to get ot ready for Rotovegas this coming Labour weekend at the mement it's stripped, no engine interior etc and all set for the paint shop.

She does what she can on it, leaves the rest for me and balances that with doing the daily chores etc to leave me getting on with her Fairlane.

Known quite a few ladies into cars & bikes, it's no big deal, just treat them as equals

Hi Claire
Thanks for that. You guys must have the most exciting garage to walk into.
I'm going to check out Petrolhead.

Thanks for your advice

Fairlane. I reakon she will love that

Hey SD

we are the host club for the Nationals but sadly won't be there as we are committed to another club that weekend. We will be in Vegas though with the Thunderbird club not Sulphur City and are having our Club Display at the ShowNShine on Sunday.

Good Luck getting the car done. We do a few rods/customs etc at our shop and ours are always last in the cue to get anything done to them so I can appreciate the time you would have been putting in. Is the Fairlane a coupe or sedan?

Shame you're not going to be there, never mind, with a bit of luck we'll still meet.
Chrissy-Bimbos Failane is a 4-door factory column shift auto, now has 302/C4 in it and set of 5-spoke Hustler mags. Colour is black with cerese (pinky-purple) contrast and trim.(her choice of colour!).
Would have been nice if it was a coupe but still it's a nice roomy bus, all our other wheels are basicly two-seaters.
Oh yeah, thanks for asking and the comments,
Catch ya :spudbooge

HER decision and I wasn't going to argue!!! We do split the chores normally but as time starts to run out I have to spend more of it on the Fairlane or we'll be stuck with taking my truck to Rotovegas
Mrs S.D. is keen to do as much as she can on her car but we've only been an item for a bit over 5 years and she hasn't learned quite everything I know about cars yet, she'll get there as she is real calm when it comes to coping with mechanical misadventures - and I provide a lot of them

Well said Jim. Now that you have your Big X you need not be fearful!

She sounds perfect! Alas... Why does she have to be interested in stinky ol V8s and not bikes

[terbang]

My daughter (15) can wheelie her trail bike from one end of the paddock to the other and does some fairly awesome aerial stuff all on an old DT175. She has ridden across Australia on the back of a bike and follows the GP closely and has posters of V-Rossi on her bedroom wall (along with the Rolling Stones). She's not too big on the mechanical stuff though, however she hits a bit of a male brick wall wanting to play base guitar (she is pretty good) in a local rock band as quite a few blokes prefer to type her a vocal.
