HOW MANY HAVE DONE A FATHER/SON PROJECT....

-
My son and I started one. I more or less I made him do it with me. We bought a 70 Duster off this site, no drivetrain no interior. He likes the cars but not really into working or learning about them, he likes the newer Mopar stuff. But he did it with me. It was tough but I love every minute that we work on it. We did not finish it but got a lot done on it. We did full interior, 340 4 speed 8 3/4 rear, new tank, lines a disc brake swap and new lines. We got it running and driving for his high school graduation. He just started collage this year. So now it sits in the garage and he can decide what to do with it after collage. I do not expect him to do much while he is at collage. He is a very hard collage (RPI) and majoring in civil engineering. At least it runs and I can move it under it own power. Good luck

I learned the simple basics from my dad, changing brakes, oil change, wheres the alternator, but never restored or did any serious work on a car. He grew up working on cars and I think he was burnt out fixing everyone else's problems. But I always wanted to do an old car with my dad (even if he was a chevy guy). It'll never happen cause I went into the army and a year later he died while I was away. He didn't have much to leave behind but it was enough for my to buy my current Duster so I think of it as our car.

Now I have a 6yr old and maybe one day we can get to do that. I can't rebuild an engine from scratch like my dad but hopefully by the time my kid hits highschool I'll be good enough to teach him a thing or two. Right now he only cares about video games and nerf guns.
