Let me help clarify something . I never said it was going to be my son's truck. I said it was a project for me and my son. He has been my buddy in the shop since he was 3 years old. I have been mechanic for 20 years . 11 yrs big diesel, 6 yrs cert auto and the last 3 marine tech. I worked way to much and time with my kids suffered. I have 2 older girls 23 and 21. This will be a truck that he will drive also on occasion . He understands mechanics and welds pretty good (on the thicker stuff) now on to sheet metal which is way different. He wants a diesel truck like all his buddies for a daily driver which i am trying to convince him to get a gasser. The reason being is everything he is looking at is tuned which makes trannys and stuff pretty expensive when your job is washing dishes once a week. Me and his mother have been divorced for the last ten years and he lives with me most of the time. Hanging out with dad now isn't as cool as it used to be , lots more with buddies you know. Anyways , i am sorry for all the rambling . I guess what i am saying is i put work before my kids and i can't get those years back, now i tell him if his buddies want to come over and you all want to mess with your trucks thats cool, i am with my kid and teaching the other kids some things also. Which makes me the cool old man again!
