Start Them Young
« on: August 26, 2014, 08:14:45 PM »
Took my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter for her first ride in the 33.  She loved it and said the wind was tickling her!  She told me she wanted to go faster :)  Another little hot rodder in the family!  Have a look.

Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

That's great. I can't wait for my turn with my grandaughters. I did order some rear suspension parts.

Very nice, Tom. Don't want to wish my life away, but grandkids will be cool.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

That is very cool.  We definitely need to start them young.  My Dad actually has pictures of me helping him wet sand his 33 and I have been into cars since I was born.  My first show was when I was 2 weeks old.  I plan to do the same with my son.  Here is a picture of my son shortly after he was born on the fender of my 35.  The second picture is from a year ago.  He was helping with the wagon.

Thanks guys, I had been looking forward to giving her that ride for a while.  I don't know who had a bigger smile, her or I :)

Tom

You both look like your having a equally great time. That's what it's all about.
