Whats up with Logan...

[Ta2Don]

Progress & Parenting done right!

[Jeff La]

Man Logan has been busy, good job.

[Logans 66]

Yes, and the shop is such a blessing...He spent all day Saturday, which was his first spring break day off, at the shop... He's there now with our shop partner as I have to work all night. It's still very overwhelming but he keeps going.
Paul...

[Mjminino]

Very cool

[Logans 66]

Frame is painted...

[Bears63]

That is fantastic! Great to see a young man with the desire to work on these ol' gals!

[Logans 66]

It was his first time to ever hold a paint gun. I figured by the time he got done on the inside of the frame, he'd be ready for the outside...He had a few missed spots and a couple runs, but overall he did a great job...

[mattbert56]

So happy to see him doing things most kids these days haven't even heard of. Hvlp what? Your raising your boy the right way Good job man. And nice frame!

HVLP eastwood spray gun. The HVLP is a "higher" quality gun from eastwood. They say its a more beginner's gun or something like that. I've heard good things about it though and will be using it for when I paint my 66.

And that frame looks sweet! Logan did a great job! 1st thing I painted was a gas tank.

Gotchya t.j. hah. I was saying that in the sense that is u mentioned hvlp to a normal kid. At least in my neck of the woods they would have a clue what that stood for. They'd think it's a drug or Something.

HAHA! A DRUG!?!? WOW! lol Well I'm a kid that at least doesn't think that! lol!

[mattbert56]

Fewf. I have lost a lot of hope In humanity by seeing the kids now a days that are around my town. I know there's good kids still...just fewer...to much instant gratification in today's society.

[lee64]

Kid's today don't have the same upbringing we did. They really aren't taught much. Funny story. Had a kid (22 ish) come into the Advance Auto store I work at. Said he has something leaking down onto his floorboard around his gas pedal. So went out and looked. Told him it was melted snow off his shoes. But give him an I Phone and he could dazzle you with it I'll bet.

[mattbert56]

HAH that's pricless...but kindof sad... :/ I know the way I'm raising my kids when I have em, the way i was raised. Sunday mornin church. And growin up outside. Not infront of a tv or an Xbox. funny story. had a buddy help me with my 65 the other day. Asked for a socket wrench. And he hands me channel locks.....I didn't say anything..just made the best of the situation. Oh well. I'm still thankfull for what I got.

[Logans 66]

Hey y'all, just wanted to update...Logan and I found a donor truck for the suspension parts and whatever else we can use...Half ton V6. Was out in my step dads back forty all this time. In my defense, I did ask about it a while back and I could have sworn he said it was an 89. Went over for a visit a couple weeks ago and I asked him again, it's an 85 and got it for $300. Now with all the flooding in our area, might be a while before we can drag it out.

[4mulaSvaliant]

Awesome to see this. I cant say anything that hasnt already be said really.
Other than maybe, this project at this age will teach him far more than howe to build a truck. Your son will likely gain huge life lessons at an early age from building this old truck.

Great job to you and your son!

[Logans 66]

Well Logan just got his permit...Soon he'll be crusin' the main drag...Poor dude, all bummed over his picture...lol...Get used to it son...

Time sure flies.

Bummed out.....?

Buddy...!!!!!! Well done !!

That is very cool.

New spares truck is even better.

[Logans 66]

They made him smile for the picture and he hates his smile. We think he has a great smile...It'll get better...

Tell Logan in Iowa they don't let you smile for your picture. Everyone looks terrible lol. Cool build and great thread. A great father/son project.

[Jeff La]

Man Logan, Don't worry, be happy LOL

[Ronw435]

Well being a former Michigander I would like to welcome you to the Great State of Texas. Have been here for about 15 years now. Nice looking truck and Logan has made the correct decision to go for the truck. Nothing like cruising the Hill Country in a 1966 pickup.
Or cruising anywhere for that matter. Only thing about Texas is it does get hot here. Michigan sounds pretty good in July and August. What part of Michigan are you from. I used to live in the Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo area. Allegan to be correct, born in Fennville which is a nice "Nice Small Town" and was a great place to grow up.
Welcome to the Forum.

[1963c-10]

Congrats on the permit and the donor truck!!!!

[aggie91]

Awesome, Congrats Logan!
