Feature Interview:Scott Stap!This week is a behind the scenes interview with the person that writes these very articles...ME! Scott Stap. I have been involved with older and antique cars, trucks and motorcycles since a very young age. My dad (Arlin Stap) taught automotive at Corunna High School and I grew up in an automotive learning environment. We were always dragging home new projects and it was a weekly event perusing the classifieds looking for mechanical treasures at discount prices. When I became a young teen and figured out the value of a dollar, I started mowing lawns around the neighbor hood. One house I mowed at had a vehicle in the garage that would literally change my life, a 1969 Dodge Charger RT/SE. Every week after I finished mowing I would hang out in Mr Gonyea's garage and shoot the breeze while eyeballing the magnificent curves of that coke bottle shape. Of course it helped that I was raised on Dukes shows much like Rob Kibbe and I believed a Charger could fly. That TV show and that car started a lifelong obsession with Chargers that is being passed on to my sons. You will have to listen to the show to find out how that obsession also affected my family life. |
