My daughter is now 27 and my son 25 were into the car thing at an early age. My daughter loves telling people how she went to wrecking yards on Saturday mornings when she was 3 years old. When she was 14 she was at my shop one day when I was rebuilding a drive shaft. I told he when she started dating if any guy started putting the macho car image on she should say "when I was 14 I helped my dad install U joints in a 71 Olds 442 W30, using a 5 ton arbor press". When she got her own car at the age of 20 she wanted the best stuff for it and was always keen to do her own maintenance and we would spend a Saturday at my shop.She has been to many car shows and even came to Spring Carlisle one year.
My son and I have worked together on cars since he was 10.When I bought my welder about 6 years ago he wanted to do all the welding. He became so good at it I now wait until he is in town (airline Pilot) so he can do the welding. When I am rebuilding an engine I wont do the fireup and breakin unless he is there. We have a routine.
He is now building his own car,scratch from his own computer design. Its a race car that will be street legal based on the Lotus Seven concept. I had to move my cars from our house garage this past December so he could have the room.
Live has been good with their involvement. My niece wants to visit my shop next time she is in town.
