Bravo! My first car was a '66 Chevelle convertible that my father and I built. It was a fast car too, but I think the experience of putting my own labor into it caused be to have much more respect for the power and thus I never wrecked it, nor got a ticket in it.
To help with that urge for speed however, my father also made a deal with me. I could take it to the track whenever I wanted, and if I blew it up or wrecked it at the track, he would pay for all repairs, all I had to do was help in their completion. On the other hand, if I blew it up or wrecked it racing on the street, I had to pay to fix it, I had to do the work, and when I was done, he would keep the car. Needless to say, there was no street racing!
Merry Christmas!
Bill

Thanks for the welcome. Me 'n Trev will get the build threads going. We've got a lot of parts that have arrived at BOS. They're going to need a much bigger tree to fit our toys under.
Bryan, it was nice to meet you and your son yesterday at BOS (my wife and I met you right as you right as you were cleaning up to head out). You picked a great shop not only to help with the work, but to become friends with. The guys there are really great people and aren't going to steer you in a direction that you don't want to go, as is so often the case in this business.
I can't wait until my son is old enough to really get interested. I've had him welding a little and sanding so far. He's only seven so I got to keep safety in mind.Spider man tends to get in the way a little.
