Muffler man. We put him together as a craft project. A fun afternoon of teaching him the basics of welding.

Here’s a better shot of him. Just tracing life lessons on a rainy weekend. Knocked out a X mas tree too.

Finally got the correct wheels and powder coated the bolts. Still waiting on Air Design flares.

Totally understand. He is working for it. Not old enough for a real full time job but he details cars and does yard work and is always looking for a way to earn bank.
We keep him busy but the important thing here is that he maintains good grades and keeps his butt out of any trouble. There will be a bubble payment he will come up with before he gets the keys. Earned not given.
Nothing in life is free and this won’t be either.

Wow! What a priceless experience this is for your Grandson. So many important lessens he will learn. Kudos to you.

Well the kid is out of school so I’m gonna get him few a few days anyway. I have a small stash of installs for him. Hood struts, add factory style fog lights, Air Design flares, and then the wheel/ tire pkg.
Don’t know if we will have time to finish. Hopefully

Warning photo dump. Knocked out the install on everything I had stashed. He did all of it himself!
