Good luck with that thing. You have a ton of guys here at this forum that are behind you on your buildup!

Ditto Shifty, I helped my dad rebuild my first truck when I was 7, it was a 68 Chevy, that's where I got the bug for these trucks. Since then, we've rebuild a 57 Thunderbird from the ground up. Right now, we are doing a frame-off on his 67 GTO and my 70 step at the same time. It's good to know things like this, and much like you I am still learning from my dad everytime we work together (sometimes it's what NOT to do, but it's still learning
)
For the nephew, keep it up! It will definately be something to be proud of oneday, just keep the dreams reasonable for right now so you don't lose faith and give up on it. Good Luck!
