For more than two years, the teens toiled away in Hanford’s parents’ garage, building their so-called “Tiny Jeep” almost from scratch.
Their foray into car restoration started when they paid $700 for a rusted, falling-apart Jeep to tinker around with. Hanford’s dad surprised him with a new body for the vehicle, and they decided to go all the way.
There were hiccups along the way, like when Hanford was installing batteries beneath one of the seats. “I heard a spark, and then I saw a big orange ball because my head was under the seat right next to the battery,” he recalled. “And next thing I knew there was a big flame and smoke just billowing in the garage.”
The childhood friends weren’t just building a car during all those hours in the garage; they were also setting the foundation on their future careers. Both plan to study mechanical engineering — Hanford at one of the Florida state schools, Fiedler at Michigan City University.
