Default Re: Who has children that help them in the garage?

I remember when I was 6yrs old, I was snooping around my parents bedroom one night, and found a flamed out 55 Chevy model. My dad told me a story of how he had a 55 Chevy and it was stolen one night. That's all it took! I would build models every weekend and do chores around the house just to pay for them. I had to beg my parents to take me to car shows at Maple Grove. I subscribed to Super Chevy Magazine when I was 11 and read everything I could. Bought my first car at 15 (71 Nova) and the next thing I know, I own 8 cars and my dad has built a 30x40 garage to house all of his fishing toys and my projects. I think the best memory I have was when he enrolled me in an autobody shop course at night when I was 17 and he helped me get my Nova ready for prom! My dad wasn't much into doing the car stuff, but he likes to bring all of his friends down to show them what I am doing. Most of them are taken back by the fact that there is a 70 Nova body turned sideways on a scratch built rotisserie in the garage! So watch out if one of your children ask you to pick up some 2"x2" 10' long square tubing in your truck one day!
