First Cars and Musclecars

[njsteve]

Excellent idea. I learned all my carstuff on my own, starting at age 14 when I convinced my Dad to let me buy a used 1969 Z11 Pace Car Camaro. When we got it home my Mom reminded him that I was 14 and my older brother was the one that just turned 16 and needed a car. (with 5 kids, my Dad forgot which one I was).

I've been including the son (and daughter, who is now in college) for over a decade. They both helped assemble engines when they were in third grade.

Here's our recent project which is actually my son's GreatGrandmother's car.

Absolutely get a project car for him to play with (but find a nice indestrucible beater for him to learn to drive on). My teenaged son took a summer votech class a few months back and loved the welding instruction portion. And any time I can drag him away from the Xbox is time and effort well spent.
