I hope to be doing that with my son when he is her age. He helps out now but can't do much. He is only 9 but I have a feeling he will do fine. He loves the old trucks also.

I work with a guy who does upholstery work and said if I help him he will hook Darrah up and he said he could fit us in to his schedule in the next week or two. So we got started today fixen the broke springs. Darrah took some pics through her welding helmet and they turned out clear, The new welder works great.:metal:

Darrah finally decided on her seat pattern. We will be taken the seat next week. She wanted something close to a old look but will go with any color. She decided on this gray pattern.
