I have to say that my 12 year old is a real go getter. I wouldn't have been able to get this far on the truck without him.

He is learning to weld, paint and generally learning about how mechanics work. He asks a thousand good questions and you can actually see the understanding on his face.

Sorry to go on so much, but, I am incredibly proud of him.

Steve, I gotta say I love all those +++++++'s I am reading. Sounds like y'all are into a lifelong string of happy memories. When I was so unhappy with the 1st white-collar jobs after 4 years' college, I ended up in used car business where I loved it immensely! My dad finally realized he had not wasted $ on school--rather, he had just done too good a job instructing me in a grease pit; later claimed he turned me loose when I was about your son's age now, as he had taught me all he knew by then!
Keep up the good work!
