Re: dilemma
That sounds like a good plan to me. One suggestion though, before you decide just what springs for your front, put that big block in there and see just how much that extra weight lowers it.
Keep us posted with your progress....with pics of course. ![]()

Re: dilemma
And make your son sign a release so once he sees how cool the 65 is he still keeps the 04

Re: dilemma
Nice dilemma, but I think you let your son off a little too easy. Perhaps he should join in on the fun, redoing the '65 and in return he gets your '04. It will be an experience he or you will never forget.

I think having him "buy" the silverado with elbow grease payments may be a good idea.

Re: dilemma
I kind of went through a similar situation with my 17 year old, I spent 2 years building a very nice 240Z for him and he drove it for 6 months and then wanted to sell it so he could buy some low rider Jap truck.
I took the Z back and bought him a beater datsun truck that looked and ran like crap and told him to get a job and fix it up himself ![]() I am currently building a 1960 Chevy pickup for my 12 year old to drive when he is old enough, hope he appreciates it.
