Re: Quality Time
You will never regret that time spent. Having her help you will always be a fond memory for both of you.
Is that a 50th aniversary issue truck? Last edited by low'n slow; 04-07-2008 at 06:05 AM. |

Re: Quality Time
Time well spent. No matter what she does in the future you and her both now have the memories of this. Hope she stay's with it. She just maybe the next Chip Foose...who knows!

Re: Quality Time
Doesn't matter the activity...they just want to be with you.
Your devoted attention and positive reinforcement keeps them interested in whatever you may be doing. At any rate....it's ALL good.

Re: Quality Time
bring your truck and her to the midwest meet at the end of may. there will be a good number of kids there, and i'm guessing if they're anything like my 3, they'll have all kinds of stories to tell about "dad's truck"

Re: Quality Time
It's amazing how much my 2 and 3 year old love playing in the cab and bed. It's a treat for them, but an even better treat for me to see them smile when I take them for a ride. Creating memories that they will share some day with their kids is really special. Thanks for sharing!

Re: Quality Time
I first read this thread a couple of days ago. I had to revive it. I found a pic of my son Hank from about 4 months ago today. The kid is good with a body hammer. He knoced out all the rusty spots in that inner rocker and floor pan. We had a great time just being dirty and doing manly things. He asked me today if we could hammer the old pickup. Makes a dad proud. Of course we had to weld a few trim holes up after he asked. i don't think his mother minded to much.
Thats is his 'say cheese' face.
