John,
Gregg knew a mechanic that was SO DANGEROUS that he had to get a license to buy tools at Sears & he had to sign a dis-claimer with each purchase. They made out the invoice to "JOHN DOE." Once, Sears refused to sell him a LADDER! Bill W.

If I had a few thousand cigars, I'd hand them out. But since I don't, congrats on the addition to the next generation in Model A lovers John! WoooHooo! er...a....AHOOOOGA! I am happy for you, brother. There's nothing better than being a dad. My oldest is 20 and married and my youngest is 6 months. One day they're born...the next day they're married and gone.

Spend time doing stuff like rebuild these old junkers together. The car is cool alright. But what's even cooler is the relationships fostered, conversations shared, memories lived, mistakes made, and challenges to solve that come up along the way to make the whole thing priceless.

I am 38 and my dad is 64. It still applies this late in life, as we are working on a 1929 TS together for the first time. Keeping a heritage alive is the responsibility of the older generations passing trades, knowledge, and abilities down to younger generations. I think of BILL WILLIAMSON and his memories of Chief. Right Bill? That requires investment in lives, not stuff. This is something our society has left in the dust. We are too selfish. We do not see that what we do today affects our children's children. Some do...

So, give the kid a real wrench to teeth on, not that plastic crap. You might want to wipe 'er down first before the little fella gums it, though.

Simply wonderful that you shared such a beautiful and loving new gift of life with all of us!

Sincere thanks for allowing us to partake in your family's joy.

Thanks everyone. I'm gonna try to post some pictures tomorrow getting them from my phone to here is kind of interesting. My oldest who is 4 has lost interest in his "play tools" so I think they are going to be hand me downs for the littlest. My 4 year old is officially into the same tools I am which is nice. This is our third kid I have a 4 year old son and a 2 year old daughter also.

Hey J, great stuff,
I always worked out of Chief's tool box, in 1953 he bought himself a huge tool set up from Sears & gave me a whole mess of his old tools. He informed me, "Stay out of my box & you can't use these tools until you buy yourself a decent tool chest"! I just turned 77 yesterday & I'm still using a lot of those same tools, all stamped with "D.W." They're my "MAGIC TOOLS"!!
Way in the past he would bring some contraption he'd found & ask me if I could take it apart & see how it worked or figure out what it was for. FUN CRAP!! He taught me how to take an old Telechron electric wall clock apart & make it run BACKWARDS.
He once suggested that if I flipped the pitman arm on the dragster, it would steer backwards, what fun that would have been!!!! Bill W.

Congratulations. I hope mom and child are doing well. I could not agree more with Mach0415. I have spent a lot of fun hours in the garage with my kids working on our jeeps. Now maybe I can duplicate those fun times with the Model A I just pulled the body off of tonight.

Again congrats.
