hat makes a kid in this day of hi-tech gadgets and video game hypnosis spend his time working or restoring classic examples of vintage 20th Century engineering? Well, a lot of it has to do with the satisfaction of making something work... and also making something so beautiful that people are impressed. It also could be that "The family that restores cars together stays together".
That's the path chosen by Michael Villanueva, 14-years old who's project was this classic Chevy. Michael said that he has learned from his dad Chendo and his older brother Robert. Making old classic cars beautiful again is a big part of their life. Since this is a favorite family past time, Michael and Robert have been learning how to transform classic cars since they were little kids.
Robert's completed project was a 1939 Ford Pick-Up Truck that is almost as impressive as this classic.
When you learn to appreciate a great work of art... and then can drive it; it goes without saying that Michael and Robert will not be taking their life for granted.
