Well, the theme and name for my Fest have finally been decided upon.
It all started with a foot-shaped gas pedal in a catalog at the parts store where I work.
I really don't like the idea of creating a car around a theme that someone else has done before, so I decided to base mine on feet. Yes, feet.
That's right, Feetstiva has been born!
ccasion5:
Just a quick history brief of how Feetstiva came into my posession.
Feetstiva was owned by an old alcoholic friend of my wife's grandmother's. (Follow all that?) He had it parked under a tree for a little over two years. The only thing that was wrong with it was a bad fuel pump. Even the tires still held air.
Unfortunately for the Feetstiva, but fortunately for me, this fellow was entirely too drunken all the time to do something as simple as replace the pump.
After a short, slurry conversation with the guy we agreed on a price. I went to the parts store, purchased a pump for about 20 bucks, a battery for about $50 and after around 20 minutes of work, I had the Feetstiva running.
Add that to the $100 I payed the ol' drunk for the car itself, and you have yourself one hell of deal on a Festiva! I'll post some photos at some point in the future!
