Progress Thread '87 Father/Son project

[05stanger]

Lots of plans for this and I'm not sure who is more excited.

1st - 5 lug swap

Got a new radiator and fan setup to replace and just get it running good for right now. We've got a Cervini's stalker kit for it as well. I'll be updating this thread with videos etc.

Great project. How old is your son?

Great project. How old is your son?

17. He loves cars but has been involved more with sports to want to get his hands this dirty.

Thats a great car to start with. Should be fun. I have a daughter that I tried to make a boy with cars. She kept her pronoun luckily.

Great age. Start with simple fixes where the finished result can be realized. Share and encourage the victory, moving on to the next item. He will be full blown car nut before you know it.

Exactly. He does already love cars but hasn't really built anything yet. We'll get the suspension swap finished this week.

Have him be the lead photographer for the build thread following your progress. This way he needs to understand what is going on with each step.

Got the suspension swap done today. Still need to get some small items done but the majority of it is done.
