How to make a 4 year old happy

[dave571]

I did up a valve cover for my 4 year old Steven.

It came in the trunk of my car, when I draged it out the field in october. The car was originally a 318 poly car. The engine was gone, but some pieces were still in the trunk.

He seems to like it 8)

My 8y.o. nephew has one of those big plastic Jeeps with the electric motors,i gave him a bunch of stickers from Summit and racing stickers and he stuck them all over his Jeep so it would look like my car with the stickers on the qtr. glass.

No no no no no no... don't start teaching them young kids that fancy paint jobs and stickers make things go fast. Give 'em an old Holley to play with. Or maybe a pair of cylinder heads and a flow bench. Geez, don't turn them into ricers!!!

I think it needs wheels and maybe a weed eater motor.....100 MPH valve cover?

Have you ever seen valve cover race's?

Basic Rules:
All parts must be from a car
2 classes 5# and 10# Max weight
You can use pully's old valves or anything else thats round for wheels

No welding or glue

Set up a 4x8 sheet of plywood as a launch ramp about 45*

Let them roll the one that goes the farthest is the winner.

Or you can make it a drag race which usually end up in an aurgument and a food fight of somekind.

Chalk in a center line if you cross the center strip you lose.

Even more fun when you add in a keg of your favorite adult beverage and a grill full of burgers.....

Of cource it must ne a V-8 American valve cover, no ricer covers, they get to race with the flat head Ford guy's.

I think he's going to be a gear head for sure....

Today we were doing some work with my shop truck

"Daddy it has 2 gastanks...."he says

"Yes but we only use one Steven..."

"It would be faster if you used both Daddy..."

"Because we'd use twice as much gas?" I replied

"Yup"

He seems to have it all figured out. More fuel, more power 8)
