There is one main project idea that I have my mind set on. I have loved drag racing, cars, and everything to do with cars since I was a little girl and went to races to the watch my dad race. Now that I'm getting older and can drive, I also now race street cars in the high school division.
I love going to races to see all of the old cars that people have turned into race cars. This has inspired me to want to restore the engine in our 1973 Plymouth Roadrunner. This car hasn't been driven in twenty years and I think it would be a great project for me to learn how to put an engine together. I have thought about possible mentors and I have decided that my dad's cousin who has been working on cars for many years and also has had a lot of experience racing, would be a good mentor for me. He only lives about a half an hour away, so getting in touch with him and working on my project should be fairly easy. I am not sure how much this project would cost because I will have to inspect the car to see what parts I all have to order. For my research paper, I could write about the history of Plymouth cars and the innovation of Chrysler products. My product would be the finished engine in the car. I also have a back up project just in case I am not able to rebuild the engine. I could crochet scarves for the kids that take part in Special Olympics Basketball. I got interested after attending the State Special Olympic basketball tournament. Each year they pick colors, and people crochet scarves those colors for the participants to have for free. My product would be the scarves for the participants. My mentor could be my friend's mom. I could write my research paper on either the history of crocheting, or the history of Special Olympics.
