My son getting his FAB on

Helping dad cut some metal

 

Eye and ear hearing protection? How is the kid gonna learn without hurting himself?

Okay... more pics now but I what to see him laying some mean beads with the TIG.

 

Do people in Rocklin Sleep Good job teaching them young!

 

I think it's very cool to have little helper learning from the ground up, no pun intended. What's the little ones dream car? He would look good in the car below:

CRUISER

 

looks like you got some excellent help man..

 

That is cool.He could be driving that ride to school next year with some pedal extensions.

 

I see a look of pride on his face in that close-up photo.

Hard to beat that !!

 

Right on Bro! I am in Rocklin as well. I recently aquired a 53 210 and cant stay away from her. Maybe I'll see ya around.

 

right on !,the best thing a father can do,keep them close to family!

 

way to go dad !

 

letting him help instead of keeping him out of your way, thats cool dad. i figure i better let my 5 yr. old help me out too, i am such an a**hole that in ten years he will be the only person who will be able to tolerate working with me.

 

Good job Dad! My best times are spent with the kids!

 

I wish my dad would have had me doing that kind of stuff when I was little.

 

bad idea to show him how to use power tools. because when he wants that car that he helped build and you say NO im sure he will know what tool to use to knock you off and make it look like an accident...hahhaha its always nice to see father son stuff..

 

Man you are makin me jealous my little boy is only 14 months old and he can't quite be in the garage yet helpin me out but i can't wait.Me and my dad never had that and he wasn't around alot growin up cause he drove truck and still does but i want to do things like this with my son cause I want him to know there is nothin in the world better than havin your dad by your side and one day i would like to hand the keys over to him for my hotrod.

 

You Sir, are a cool Daddy. Learn'em good okay.

 

some of my fondest memories are working on cars with dad - good job.

 

That's awesome!

 

Thats about the age I started taking things apart, it didn't always please my dad esp. when I became a car painter and touched up all the knicks and scratches on his Buick , oops.

 

teach em young and keep our hobby goin for long long time!!! Very cool

 

I've got two GIRLS. I guess I can teach them to sew upholstery.

 

Gloves too I see.

How old is the big guy?


My younger daughter took an interest in garage stuff, dirt bikes, hot rods at a young age.
She was great about helping and about age 7 she knew the names of all the common tools and could usually find the weird ones.

I really miss her when I'm under the car, no matter how many tools I take with me....


At last years airport drags:


In the staging lanes:


She was bummed that they shut down right in front of her turn to make a run.

 

I hope my girls will want to learn to weld and drive with a clutch!

 

Your a lucky man! I have a 12 year old that has NO interest in cars!!

 

Here is an old photo of our son making a set of lowering blocks for my 52 pontiac
