Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
well last night was a great night for me, My son came out to the garage and wanted to help (like really help not just stand around) so i basically did a shop class last night ! I told him what we were going to do and why we did each thing we did, and he listened ! First we cut out some spot welds where someone at another shop welded on my front wood brace and had 1/4 inch sticking off on one side (not centered) so we cut that off , smoothed off the welds straightened both pieces back out and put it back on right ! Then we welded up a slit someone had put in it with a grinder next we drilled holes around the bottom to tack weld then flipped it over and sanded and spray painted the center of the back and weld through primer around the edges, next step is Welding everything in place !! Anyway it was my first really great time in the garage with my SON !!

Also, maybe you can sell the wife on the idea of buying a square for you and your son to work on by justifying that you need one to complete the slosh tubz for them, and they will in turn pay for the truck purchase over time (I know you have a front clip from a square but you need to figure out that part, I can't come up with everything )

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Awesome. My son is 7. He helps sometimes he used to do more. But 1st grade is a big change for him.
I also look forward to more of his help and interest. Those moments are priceless. |
