Father and son project
« on: October 27, 2013 - 07:18:16 AM »
I had bought our 71 Challenger when my son was only 7 years old and we had some great times thru out the last 10 years disassembling it, working on it, driving all over to get parts for it and putting it all back together. We always go to car shows together with it and with out it. I believe the time spent together with my son is more valuable then the car. Here is some pics. The last one is a pic he had taken for his senior pictures.

That's awesome I plan on doing the same thing with my son and hopefully the daughter if she is interested on our 71 Cuda. I have a 70 and 73 barracuda waiting for them also. So hopefully they will be interested like your son.

Lucky lad, lucky Dad and that's a nice car. Glad to see the young'n's get into it. My boys are on me to get back onto the old Chally and messages like this are just the kind of impetus I need.  :thumbsup:
