Well early happy b day!
You are just turning 16 right?

I have to say, I REALLY like that you are so involved with building cars. And with your dad and grandfather too. Most guys your age don't seem to have much intrest in these old cars. I hope my son takes as much interest as you do.
And you do really nice work too!

Yup Just turning 16! Ive been driving for a while as I'm sure you guys could have guessed! Shhh don't tell anyone! Lol
I have been around cars my whole life and have been in the shop since I can remember. I have gone from flashlight holder to can you run and get me that wrench to go cut this or grind that. I soak in all the knowledge that I can. Our car buddies even like to ask me things about certain products or cars or anything because they know that I am on the computer and always researching parts and on forums and such and I am really appreciative of that because they trust what I have to say.

As for any other young guys getting interested in cars more I have never been a video game guy or watching tv, working on cars is a much better past time or hobby to get into as you will have something to show when your done and be proud to say yeah I did that, while playing video games you'll have nothing to show!
