Cruisin'


My family has always been into classic and muscle cars. My dad has ALWAYS had a project car. I honestly cannot remember him ever NOT having at least one car. In fact, before he sells one, he always makes sure he's got another one ready to go. My job has always been to help with the sanding and to help bleed the brakes. Ah, the memories of hanging out in the garage with my dad listening to the oldies station while workin' om the car. Those were the days!
I am so glad that my dad has this fun hobby and that his love of cars has rubbed off on me and my son. Zack is a riot! He is so funny to watch while working on his "project." Last year my dad gave him this car and he has puttied it up, sanded it down, masked it off and painted it. It's a sweet ride now!

Last week we came down for a visit and my dad and my brother took us out for a cruise in their cars. Jesse has been working on a 64 Impala and my dad is finishing up with the Pontiac. We had a little parade of cars and I must have looked like an idiot hanging out of the windows taking these pictures, but I had so much fun that I just don't care!

That's awesome!! My dad used to have a project car all the time, too (not sure if you remember all the cars we've had). He doesn't do it anymore, but I loved having all those cars to drive around in. Glad your son is in on the fun now!!
