Raising money for a Ford Bronco!

Filed under: Awesome! — Kyle August 10, 2007 @ 6:50 pm

Hey!! I’m Kyle Lovell!
I’m 18 years of age; I am attending my senior year at Harmony High School. I have been at Harmony since I was 3 years old, a good 15 years. Its been a very life changing experience for me, I don’t know what my personality would be like if I chose a different school.

At Harmony School, during your junior year the school gives you about a semester to prepare for your senior project. What is a senior project you might ask? During the senior year at Harmony, you get 3 months (a semester) to go out into the world and explore whatever you are interested in pursuing as a career.

I have always loved cars, inside and out, it doesn’t matter to me. On top of that, I plan to go into a career for Mechanical Engineering at Purdue. So what better opportunity do I have to take a head start pursuing the career I hope to go into? Personally, I don’t think it could get any better. I get a three month head start to prepare my life, I am very happy with it.

With my love for cars, I have decided to buy and restore an older model car. I originally wanted to buy an old muscle car and make it my baby. Instead, I’ve decided to buy a 90’s Ford Bronco and restore it back to health. Once I’ve got everything up and running, I plan to continue fixing the car up into a pure muddin’ car.

We have to fund our projects by ourselves, if that means working a 9-5 everyday, putting on fundraisers, or… both! I plan to be working a lot during my project but at the same time I’m planning an online fundraiser and I need some help. I’m going to put on a Bronco Building Sale and I need some help getting products to sell for it.

Three months of working on a car can potentially be some big money. As well as all the ideas I have for the Bronco, it could get pricey. But I’m willing to take that chance because this is what I love, and I’ll love doing it.

  2. Dude, good job on the website! This is very cool. A new way of fundraising for the Senior Project. I like this creativity that you’ve shown. It’s also cool to see that you’ve raised some money. Congrats!

    Hey, if I ever need a website, I’m sure you and I could come up with a deal that would get you some profit.

  4. Kyle….I just searched for Kyle bronco and this blog came up……I have a 69 bronco…see my pictures at www.myspace.com/daduze2

    Hope your 90’s bronco is coming along if you started it……good choice by the way. I was going to by a 60’s fastback mustang and ended up getting a 69 bronco sport because it was cheaper.
