Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

A bit of a detour from the truck.

SkinnyKid1 just got his license, and then ten days into it, he "nerfed" a curb (and by "nerfed" I think he means "did you even lift, bro?")

So I'm making him do ALL the work (except welding), AND he has to walk the 75 minute trip to school until the car is road worthy again. And SkinnyKid2 has to walk as well, which helps kid1 see the farther-reaching impact of poor decision.

So far, he's into it for a control, a ball joint, and a pair of struts.

Today I had him cut off the bent lip as well as a good lip off another wheel, and I welded them together.
