Kids and Hot Rods.....post pics here

Luke...the last pic is his first stab at building a front engine dragster

 

My son Mitchell at the drags.


My daughter Andie prefers vintage speedway.



And above all else they like hangin' out in the A.

 

I understand the importance of there needing to be a real car in the photo. But when my brother and I were kicking around shapes and wheelbase, the nieces imaginations went to town...or should I say down the quarter-mile!





The intense faces and engine noises were worth it!!

 

best mock up EVER!!

 

I love that my kids are starting to take an interest in cars. Ihope I can keep it going.

 

Mine like cars (and firetrucks, and trains and cartoons and cookies and pacifiers):

 

my twins

 

My two girls are grown up and long gone, but I like to see the young ones at the track,having a good time.

 

My daughter

 

Here's my crumb snatcher...he's three and as ate up with cars as I am...learned the difference between a philips head and flat head screwdriver at 1.5y/o The top photo is of him using my truck as a jungle gym...its one of my favorites.

The middle is his stroller next to my truck

and the bottom is him fixing his jace powered "race car" so it will "go faster daddy"

Yeah I could have alot more money to play with my toys...but it wouldnt be nearly as cool as being with him...

Heck me and my wife were just talking about Pre-k programs tonight and realized that the little bugger is going to school SOON...I dont know if I'm ready for that...I know my wife aint....

 

my grandson Jayden in my coupe

 

My oldest daughter when I brought my car home in September 2006. I can't believe it's been that long. I'm going to have to get some more pictures of both my kids this summer when we finally get to go for a ride.

 

im only 16 so aint got no kids but ive been around rods all my life heres a few pics from my childhood


this is from 11 years ago


13/4 years ago


9 years ago when a few rods got shipped over for the goodwood festival of speed

 

Every time I take my son to a show he picks his favorite car and tells me to take his picture next to it for his photo album.. This one is his all time favorite! He likes flames the more of them the better.

 

Can't start too soon!

 

Good thread.

 

Here's my oldest - she's 16 and doesn't like being seen in it (much less photographed) and her sister who thinks its cool to go cruisin'. The other three are my niece and 2 nephews - we got to go for a ride everytime they visit.

 

Here's my niece,Isabelle with my coupe.

I don't have a pic to post but let me say thanks for all the pics that have been posted. Their great. It's nice to see that hot rodding really is a family affair and not just showing off a trophy car!!!!

 

Wow...what a classic photo!!
