Every now and then, an otherwise routine moment can make a great impression on your mind. When that happens, drink it up, because that's what it's all about.
Yep, I'm a lucky man.

I also captured my oldest son developing his early mechanical skills, over 30 years ago. Like you said savor the moments.

My son still gives me grief about the summer he sandblasted the entire front suspension on my 46 Ford for the price of his first BB gun! :lol:

My son is 29 now and I have several of those pictures in my memory banks. You're a very lucky man. Truly enjoy. My son calls or texts me everyday to talk about cars, baseball, football, work, etc. He and his sister are easily the blessings of my life.

Pictures just say it all! This is my grandson Kaiden and he is only 5 and he already knows his tools, the basics of a drivetrain and what makes it all work. He actually installed a horn on the truck recently and helped put the grille in. He loves running the sand blaster, DA sander and many other tools. Says he's going to drive this to school when he's old enough. (he's in pre-school, thinks big boys in kindergarten get to drive to school).

i luv this thread! i was always at my grand dad's side when i was growing up, just as my son was at mine when he was growing up. we built lots of projects together, and i would give anything i have to do it all over again. he is 30 now & since he got to be a big-shot engineer he don't like to get his hands dirty much anymore. oh well, i gotta 9 yr old grandson & a '66 short / step! :bann::

Awesome thread! I don't have any kids yet, but somewhere around here I have a picture of myself at age 8 helping my uncle on his flat-head powered '40 Ford hot rod sedan. If I can find it, I'll get it scanned and posted. This truely is one of the best things about the automotive passion.

I can't wait till I can take those type of pix myself. Awesome "Norman Rockwell" style moment.

5 Stars from me too.

I don't have kids...but I can add this. It's saving a piece of history, to me that's enough reason to do it.

These are the moments in time that should be the most cherished. I was looking at some old pics of my kids last night and i was truly devastated at how fast they have grown up. I guess taking these kinds of moments with my kids for granted was my mistake. Without these little ones, a home just wouldn't be a home for me. Awesome pics guys!

Mine doesn't help with the actual work, but she does give me styling tips and likes to pretend she is cruising when it's all done. :lol:

The two older ones just want to ride around in it, but she has turned into daddy's little help. Always wanting to know when we can go work on "her truck" as she likes to call it.

Ok, attached is day 1 for my GMC when my brother, son and I picked it up in Arkansas. He's 14 now and the truck is still not done, but we ride in it every weekend. His Lacrosse, Cross Country, etc. keep me busy on weekends instead of the GMC, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
