My '59 Apache

[dubie]

it's getting more and more common place to see VERY capable women stepping into what was normally dubbed as MAN territory and I personally love it. My wife at the age of 38 has taken on an industrial mechanic apprenticeship and I couldn't think of a better person to do it. Over the past 20 years together, she's proven to me that she is indeed the most capable person I've ever met. Not to mention that she is the very first woman mechanic in this companies 85 year history, so that in itself speaks volumes.
When I work on the truck, I just go to it and get the job done. But when Shawna is helping me out, her brain works in a completely different manner and I bet you're the same way D'ne. Everything seems so much easier if I do things the way she explains it, over the way I think it should be done. It's all about opening your mind to possibilities that we may not have even thought of.

I stand and applaud you for all the work that you've done on this project lady. You're a shining example of what can be done with some drive, a great work ethic and the ability to keep learning as you go. This has been one of my favorite build threads to read through, and I've done it 2 or 3 times over.
