It's one thing to have these 'toys', but when you go through the process of building them, ...you learn to appreciate the effort and sacrifices it takes to own them. The parking lot photo says it all, he worked hard on that truck and parked it away from everything to protect it. Good for him, ...great for you to have built this truck with your son, and in the process as best you can, prepare him for life ahead.
Agreed!

I'll add..... Get that thing 'secured' ASAP. Alarm. Kill switch. Tracking device. Kids love to drive them & hang out w/their friends. Sometimes they get so involved in what they're doing they don't consider the security of things.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
