    Two weekends ago I took my 7 year old son to a local car show and swap meet last one of the season. We saw a blue chevelle station wagon there and he turns to me and says Daddy when are we gonna take your station wagon to a car show? Well that certainly lit a match under my ass. Gotta finish putting this motor back together and get this show on the road. With all the work going on at the house and my injuries I went 6 months without doing anything to it. It figures winter is here and I'll be freezing BUT A full afternoon and It should be back together. :cheers:

    A man, his son, and their machine. It just doesn't get any better.

    If he is anything like my son he'll keep on you about getting the wagon done and he'll want to help. Get some warm clothes and a thermos of hot coco and make some memories with your boy.

    It will not last the night.
    But ah my foes and ah my friends,
    It gives a lovely light!"
