Yeah I know it's only a matter of time before the girls don't want to have anything to do with helping me in the shop. My youngest to like being out there but they want to play. This is the first time my oldest is really shown interest in wanting to help. The way I look at it even if they don't pick up the car thing if they have a decent work ethic and aren't hooked on drugs it's a win my friend

Thank you, I definitely am. I was supposed to go play in the snow today, but we got up to the parking lot and my buddy's bike wouldn't start. So I am now headed home and we are going to finish the wood bed in the truck

New lower control arms installed. Upper arms should be here this week. The truck will go outside and get a bath after I get the air ride working properly again. It's filthy!!! Also got the bed reassembled!!

Good progress.

My 2 did get a great work ethic. Both had jobs when they were of age, sometimes more than 1. My Daughter became a Vet Tech working at a Vet cancer center and my Son is a Civil Engineer working for the next town over from us. Very proud of how they turned out. Jim

First time in minter fab history, my beloved 50 is on the lift! Started tear down of the old air system, ordered a new set of front bags. Removed the repurposed home brewed shifter in preparation to install my new one. Also installed new bump stops in the back

Love the grenade shifter knob. Such a sign of that time. Jim
