For Chris Tolvo fixing-up an old classic into a car is an opportuni- ty to show his . . . MECHANICAL INGENUITY f you enjoy mechanics and fast cars, then we've got the perfect thing for you. Freshman, Chris Tolvo, for the past four years has been fixing up cars into Hot Rods with the help of his dad. Chris' hobby began when he was eleven and his dad brought home a 1930 Model A Ford Coupe. The car didn't even run. The father and son team then began to build the car from the ground up. This includes all body work, engine work, and paint- ing. “The hardest part, Chris feels, is putting together the transmission and the engine. After two years of hard work on the car, it was finally finished. Chris' dad then sold the car to Hot Rod magazine for a substantial profit.

He is presently involved in the Aerospace Explor- ers, a division of the Boy Scouts. Through this, Chris is learning about the mechanics of airplanes.

This is because it is one of the meet complicated parts of the car. It’s fun because I get to see how all of the parts fit to- gether. Photo pro- vided by Chris Tolvo purchased another 1930 Model A Ford Coupe. However, unlike the first car, this one will not be sold. Chris states that This car is going to be for me. It should be finished right about the time that I will be getting my drivers license. Until Chris has his license, his dream car will sit, waiting to be fin- ished. Thankfully, he doesn't really mind. He still has the car, and is able to work on it. The part I like best is being able to learn how to put a car together, and how it works. By Lau- ra Geer.
