Q. This summer (summer before starting my senior year in high school) I'm planning on getting an old body of a 67' Chevy Impala to fix up and spend some time with my dad over the summer. It's pretty roughed up and needs some tlc but it has the potential and I have the money to front on any parts we'll need. Thing is, I'm just getting into this car fix up thing and I don't know very much though I know the basics of maintaining a car on my own. Anyways, I'm wondering if there's any great internet articles or even better yet youtube videos of explaining the parts of say an engine and how the parts work, what they do, etc. I would ask my mechanic all of this, but he graduated highschool last year and moved off :( But I'm really looking forward to spending bonding time with my dad this year and I'm willing to learn everything I can to make it even more fun.
Anyone have any tips/references? I will appreciate it!
P.s, I'm a girl, by the way. Hopefully a grease monkey in the making! :P
@Red: Thanks! I'm definitely not one of those girls who worries about what other people are thinking... I love cars and I want to work on them!
Right now, I'm looking for the mechanics of how cars generally work. I've got the mind that once I know how the guts work and the rules to it I can figure out the rest really well. So any help on this would be great! Thanks so much!
