  • agreed Perry... He's turned out to be a good egg... We feel that whatever road a young adult takes, as long as they are not bridled into something they don't choose, the more likely they are to stay away from vices that would detract from their quality of life... Sean works as a mechanic, but, he's building his experience and physical "tool boxes" and even though he isn't in college, the training and experience is priceless! He has managed to keep away from drugs, excessive partying, and out of trouble with the law, so, mom and I are quite proud of him!

      I'm proud of him anyway, everybody's not a Gearhead and I'm ok with that, he doesn't drink or do drugs what more can you ask for!
      Sounds like you have raised him right. Everybody is different in this world and that's ok. That's what makes us unique in our own way.

      • Ok believe it or not I've been working on my Torino alittle. I've been block sanding added a few small patches. I want to get her out when the weather dries up and sand blast the motor box and front inner fenders so I can paint it and start assy on all the new frontend suspension parts. Not much but something.

        • Any progress is just that.....progress. Unlike those TV shows, neither you nor I have a week from now deadline to meet.

            • I have no choice but to believe you! You are Family!w We have parts and are finally doing more than just maintenance on the Bullet.... We are already making plans for future long range mods... Someone at work asked me why modify a front wheel drive Grand Prix,,,I stated, "Who's gonna suspect a little four door silvermist Grand Prix?" Be wary... never underestimate your opponent!

                        • A buddy of mine wants me to bring the Torino to his bodyshop and work on it. It's the same shop that I did the pinto in. The problem isn't a place it's time.
