Working on cars alone VS having a few buddies around....

Other than my current Father/Son truck build, I work on my own. Most of my friends are not truly car guys. They maybe appreciate cars but are really not enthusiasts.
I do have my son who is 16 (really my kids are my best friends any more) and can out work most men you find around these days. He is really busy with work and sports so I kind of need to book an appointment.
My 13 year old daughter will always help too. She does get a real sense of accomplishment when she can help me do something big like dropping a motor in or something noticable. She is a great help and genuinely likes spending time with me but she has other priorities and I totally understand that.
Some things are just way easier with 2 people but I am slowly buying and building the right tools so I can just do it all myself. I really think a lift will keep me going or a long time!
I will say though I have a couple good friends that I share parts back and forth with. Their inventory has saved my *** and I have saved theirs, so that helps. The one guy is in his 70s and asked me to swap the center section for the 8-3/4 in his Coronet. I tell you, I was so nervous, his car is so damn nice. He wanted to pay me but I wouldn't take anything for it. Like I told him, I got to work on cars this afternoon and it didn't cost me a dime!
