I love my daughter....she's such a sport- she's been to more car shows with me than school functions...lol anyhow, i thought i'd brag a little and show off my daughter Emma Lauren Brown hope you guys dig it these were taken at Billetproof last year, can't wait to see what Kirk draws in this year- it's gonna be rad i'm sure
I am slowly teaching my daughters of the beauty of the old cars. I hope mine have a solid appreciation the same as yours seems to
You're a good Daddy, and you have a beautiful daughter. My daughter was barely able to walk when she pitched a fit to play in an old Dodge sedan I had in my shop for repairs. Since then she plays in every single car or truck that comes in and we take her picture in every one. Someday we'll hand her that photo album of all those days and times she was out in the shop with her Olddaddy. It's probably the only thing she'll inherit, but the memories are priceless. You're on the right track with your daughter, you're both lucky to have each other.
Your daughter is definitely cute.. gonna try for one of those next! Kids are cool aren't they!.. I can't keep mine out of my car.. every day he yells "car car" as soon as i get home and i have to take him right to the shop.
Awesome Kiddo! I have a couple myself. My seven year old son keeps asking me "When are we going to get the truck fixed Dad?"
thanks guys! i'm sure there's alot more of you out there- post up yer pics! show off them car nut groms
FUNNY HOW IT WORKS, I HAVE A SON (21) AND A DAUGHTER (18) AND HAVE BEEN RAISING THEM SINCE MAY DAUGHTER WAS 4. MY SON DOESENT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH CARS ... BUT LOVES PLAYING MUSIC WITH HIS BAND BUDDYS. BUT MY DAUGHTER !! SHES BEEN HITTIN LOCAL CAR SHOWS SINCE SHE WAS 4 AND OVERNIGHT LONG DISTANT SHOWS SINCE ABOUT 9/10 I GUESS. SHE IS NOW TAKING A WELDING CLASS, HAS DONE ALL THE AUTOSHOP CLASS'S IN HIGH SCHOOL, DRIVES A '62 FALCON MILD 60's STYLE, HAS A PROJECT '27 "T" ROADSTER PICK UP, AND HAS TAKEN OVER MY '61 DODGE SENECA !!!!!!! KIDS ARE GREAT, I HAD MINE YOUNG SO THE AGE THING ISNT TO BAD.
I'm working on turning my niece into a gearhead. So far it hasn't been hard. Every time she comes over, she plays in my '67 Mustang fastback for hours. She was ready for a ride in the '49 before the interior was even done. Chris
Farmer, She's adorable! And she's stolen her Daddy's heart, I see. Daughters do that to you. Mine is 25 now and she can still wrap me around her little finger when she wants too. Its neat when your car is so low that your daughter is taller than the car. Mine likes cars, but prefers to have her boyfriend work on it. Keeps her hands pretty to play her violin. The running joke at Christmas is what tools did Dad buy her for her household toolbox. Boyfriends come and go but you always need to have tools around. The current boyfriend looks like a keeper. He loves cars and knows how to fabricate and build. He led the UofA SAE Formula Car team and still helps them out even though he has graduated. Yes, boys will start hanging around yours soon.
There is nothing better than having kids to share time with. This year our daughter became a working part of the crew and took on pilot duties when 1149 was under tow. She really enjoyed being the designated tow pilot and haviong the oportunity to help out. Mike
My little girl will be 20 in October and will have nothing to do with my cars. She dreams of owning an '69 muscle something one day. At least she has gotten out of the TUNER type cars. Some of her friends on the other hand always gotta come out to the garage to check out the progress on my '58.
You could do worse than get your kids into Hot Rods and such. It's a great hobby/lifestyle/culture and I think it could keep them from real trouble later on. I've got one of each...boy (5) and girl (9). Named my boy Cameron...his Mom liked the name and had no idea that I just wanted to be able to call him "Cam". It'll look good painted on the side of his car someday! They've both been to shows and cruises, but Paige likes the drags. Haven't taken her lately 'cause it's impossible to look after her while I'm racing...but I'm going to go as a spectator very soon to oblige her. Here she is at the start and finish of my coupe build. Guess I'll have to start on another project so I can do the same with my little guy. -Scott
My "little guys" are 41 and 39. I had a ball having them around while they were growing up. Now I've got 7 grandkids to spoil (that'a grandparents job/obligation ). My son is in the middle of redoing the '69 Z-28 I gave him for him for his 16the birthday (second rebuild) and my daughter is up to her eyebrows trying to keep up with 2 girls and a boy. Time flies by so enjoy them while they're little and heap a bunch of love on them so they know the real meaning of being alive.. Frank
The most important things, family and hot rods. My 2 year old wants to be right there handing me tools and nuts and bolts. I love it. She calls the cars "bye byes". I feel very lucky indeed.
If it was not for my Family I would not have the fire to do all this stuff. Getting cars ready for trips ect. Sticks Trip to the river in town Grasearama 2006 trip with 6 of my 8 children Mama in back ground by the truck.
My daughter is definitely a car gal. She loves to help me work on them, ride in them, and she even loves car shows and swap meets. I don't have any pics of her helping me wrench here at the office, but it's pretty cute, she's got her safety glasses on and ready to go. It's awesome to see other folks get to spend the same kind of quality time with their kids.
Even though he loves late model ferraris, he has suffered through a few years of car shows, the latest includes the rama. Someday he will come around to my way of thinking. s.
the closest I get to a hot rod gal is the little girl from next door, pictured in my last car a 27T ....My son (in the hat) has no idea how lucky he is...she is one of many blonds in his Hareem !!!
I have a 13 year old and a 6 year old...The little one loves cars, wants a ride in the econoline or the 34 any chance he can get. The older one,,,i have to pry him away from the computer. I will take him to the greaseball in Tucson...see if this thing sticks with him.
Kids get them into old cars !! We ain't gonna be here forever and need the next generation to carry the torch. It's refreshing to see some younins like a old Hot Rod and not some ricer. My daughter loves " Millie " are 65 Fairlane. Shes 14 and cannot wait to drive her
My little boys are both over 21 now so I had forgotten, til now, what it was like when they were in the 6-12 age group. Now that I think back those years were terrific. Little league baseball for five years was loved by everyone in the family, especially the grandparents, who have now passed. My mom and pop made it to everyone of they're games and loved it. You would have thought it was major league. Back then my hot rod ambitions were put on hold, cuz raisin kids ain't cheap. We made it to every car show possible to check out the latest and greatest on the circuit. I could ramble on a day on this topic just thinking back and remembering the good times we all had. Thanks!
That's my world right now...Karate, soccer and baseball/softball. My kids are into it all, unlike me. I was a one trick pony...cars and anything that went fast or made noise from when I was little. I'm not complaining-but I want them to try it all. I go to everything and love it all. Still, every friday night in the summer it's the "Somerville Cruise" with them, in the hot rod or not. Pizza, hamburgers and ice cream...and then throw 'em into the tub when they get home!
my daughter is only 6 months old but her two brothers, 3 and 7 , are trying to make sure she is a gear head like them. my 3 year old goes to every auto function that i can go to. cant keep him out of the A. hope my daughter has the same love. great pics.
awesome guys, thanks for adding to this post- i'm still just going through my broken heart stuff and other tough times being a single parent of an 11 year old son and having to wait to see my daughter on weekends- so, when shows come around and i get to have fun with both of 'em it just makes all the bullshit worth it. My ex doesn't know what to think...i think she'd rather my daughter not be into it at all but you can't stop her, she loves the old cars and most of all she loves me. So, whether i got a girlfriend of my own or not it don't matter cause i got Emma, and she's beautiful and she loves me- what more could a guy ask for....and she likes hotrods....lol keep 'em coming fellas- what a bunch of cute kids you guys got- very cool
