  • On this episode I finally handle some upgrades thats been on the back burner for quite some time. I fit the chrome reverse wheels over the giant Wilwood brakes because I love the look of a 70's hot rod. Unfortunately the Cragars that were on it didn't fit right so I had to pull them off. I also install a recovered original bench seat thats been sitting in my bedroom for a year. Mike Cotten and myself will be attending Battle in Bama May 30th-June 1st. If you're in the area come hang out.

    Teaching your kids practical skills is so important. Getting hands on is a great way to learn too, not just watching Dad. The best part is how eager your son is to be involved.

    As a soon to be 41 y/o whose father just turned 60 and I grew up helping him wench on old cars (specifically his 55 chevy 2 door post) it warms my heart to see the next generation taking an interest in old cars as well as a father willing to teach them.

      Im 40 and my oldest daughter is 13 and we just scored her first car that she went with me to look at and pick out and is super excited to help me pull it apart and work on it. 289 4 speed and she's adamant of keeping with the three pedal mafia lmao. All my rides are manuals but I didn't really expect her to want one too lmao

    I clicked for more 57 Chevy action but stayed because the bond you're forming with your son will be one of the most important things to him throughout his life and will make him do the same with his children.

    Hey Dave, I used to have a 68 El Camino SS396 with Z28 wheels. Bad ass set up. The wheels were gloss black with chrome lugs and chrome beauty rings. They looked great on that car and got lots of compliments on the setup. I used BFG TA 50's for tires with the letters out.
