Jim,

Welcome to the HAMB.

It is great to see three generations working together for a common cause. It looks like a great project but the memories that you guys will be making will be priceless compared to the car.

I wish all three of you the very best and I look forward to seeing updates on your project.

Good luck,

Thor

 

Thanks Thor that pretty much sums up the whole idea, the memories will last forever.

 

Jim... you guys have it figured out... family fun and a hotrod.... It is cool that all 3 of you are working on this together..... take lots of pictures and enjoy your time with your Dad and son

 

Thats the way to go grandpa!!!!! Dad and son..................

 

Congratulations! Enjoy the build, then enjoy the ride!
I wouldn't want to be around every Friday and Saturday nights when rock-paper-scissors decides who drives...could get ugly.

 

That is pretty cool that there are three generations. Hate to put it this way but if anything happens to any of you, the other two will always have the memories of this to help out. That is pretty cool. Wish you the best of luck and hope that it all works out for you!

 

Way to keep it together! Most likely be the fondest memories of your times together!

 

Thanks for the kind words guys. We are heading to carlisle PA this week to look for a body. If we dont find one we will be looking for suspension stuff.

 

that is a good looking frame, and family you have there. that is what hot rodding is all about to me, my dad ran a body shop as long as i can remember now i run it. pass it on.

 

One step at a time, boys.

Maintain your motivation and don't give up!!

 

nice job on the frame , start em young teach them a great hobby

 

very luck to be able to work the three of you like that, wish I could do that

keep up the good work!

 

thats cooler than hell.something you all will remeber.congrats and good luck

 

Thats cool it nice to see projects like this, it will keep the hobby alive. Grate start....

 

Memories for all involved....Great job guys

 

Totally agree. It's something I can never do with my own son, who passed on at the beginning of this year.

I have a 'grandson' from a long-term relationship who's become a real gearhead and I'm looking for a project car for us to build together. (I've been a grandfather to her grandkids since they were born, which has been a real blessing for me.) when I asked him if he was interested in doing a project - he does the work to learn some skills and I fund it and kick his backside when he's doing something wrong (just kidding) - he couldn't say 'yes' fast enough.

This is a great way to keep a family together and give your grandson a good grounding that will bode well for him in the future. Look forward to seeing the progress pics.

 

Totaly cool! Good to see the family involved. My daughter is about 1yoa, cant wait to get her out there. I think I have to wait at least another year

 

Awesome guys........please do keep us posted. (Love his driving stance to)

 

You are a very lucky man to have your Father and your Son both building a car with you ! I wish I was that lucky .
Anyway good luck with your 3 generation hot rod build !

Retro Jim

 

At least he knows where the shifter should be!!! Cool build

 

Please keep updating on your progress. It looks good so far, and everyone looks like they are having a good time.

 

always glad to see father son projects. i think its pretty neat!!!

 

Thanks again guys. There should be some updates by the end of next week.

 

Thats history that you can't write just enjoy the experience, nothing better than three generations connecting over a street rod. The youngest member of your team is lucky to have two good role models to gain knowledge from a shared experience.
Take care , Rob.

 

Just a small update.
I cut some parts for the front spring mount on our CNC plasma table.
They where cut from some 1/4" steel.

 

here is the 9" housing that we picked up at the Carlisle swap meet for $50
and the completed front spring perch.

 

this will be awesome great time spent together congrats

 

nice

 

Good Stuff...Started mine with the broom now he welds better then me - "Grandpa just let me do it"
