Made a Differential Dolly

I am 51, my son is 7. Had him kinda late in life, but at least I got a lot a lot of expertise to give him. We are working on a 69 notchback for him.

I am 67 (where does the time go) and my son that was only interested in driving vehicles is finally interested in working on them. As far my shop, we bought 25 acres from my folks about 35 yrs ago (NOT at a bargain price back then), got it paid off, and saved. We paid for our house and two of my sheds (shops) and none were tall enough for a lift. So, the larger shop with the lift was my retirement gift to me. Maybe having the better and tools is why my son is now interested in working on the vehicles...oh, and he still likes to drive them.

We have a '53 Dodge truck (since 1975), my late father-in-law's '54 Chevy wagon (up next), working on the '67 B'cuda convertible, then on to a '74 Cuda (318 automatic), followed by a '70 B'cuda convertible (318 3 spd). I also have a rolling shell of a '72 Cuda. Before you gasp, consider I bought the E-bodies 20-40 yrs ago - they were relatively cheap then because none on them run and they all need everything :)
