Just thought I'd share a photo with you guys. As you can see it takes a whole family to raise an "A" from the edge of doom!

I like it!! I too am a product that had a father who allowed his pre-teen son to work alongside of him doing restorations on his cars. Now, 40 years later his son is living his own dream as I turned his hobby into my living. Glad you are taking the time to involve them!!

I can't tell you how many pictures I have around my dad's cars as a youth (with hair, yet!). The pictures always take me back to the very moment they were snapped. Take as many as you can.

I have similar photos of me and my father, and also of me and my kids when they were young. That is a great photo. I must also add that you must be planning a long trip, judging by the size of the fuel tank.

Gotta be careful of those woman driver's. I see she ran the tires right off the rims.

That's a great picture! A keeper for sure. When they are grown show the kids.

As a kid I worked on mine by myself, sure wish I now could help people with there Model A's and AA's. Once you are hooked you always love the old girls.

Thanks for all the great comments - most of the kids have scrubbed grease, sanded, held tools or ran for beer (necessities!). It's a pleasure and an honor to share with guys who really can appreciate the true value of the pic.
