Y'all make it sound like 20 yrs old is extremely young (and it is, depending on how you look at it) but keep in mind that some of us was already married at 20 and already had a kid of their own.

and by age 22, has been married for 3 yrs and have 2 kids. not to mention work 50+ hours a week and still make time for ours cars.

(no names mentioned ) -and this is number 500 for me -

BTW Frank, exactly what paint did you use for your engine bay???

 

at 4 days over 20..had 3 years service (army airborne), 1 year tour viet nam, married 2 years and 1 kid...

...Dupont Satin...rattle can...to be exact
...frank...

 

And today!

...you would be 361 days from being able to buy a beer! Hell of a country
our politicians have created, huh?

(oops, I guess that was a political comment)

 

That's great! I'm glad to see some of my generation making good for themselves. you just dont see that out of my generation around here.

And where does a person get Dupont on a rattle can???

 

im gonna be (insert age to see wages decrepit by here) and still call my son boy. you dont have to be old to be wise(i heard that somwhere?) but todays youts(heard that somewhere as well) aint that bright. i happen to encourage my children in ways most can only imagine. if they believe,they will succeed. so far, 3 outta 3 , they are doin great. dave, you just need to move closer so i can send "the boy" over to help you work on your car, then you'd see.

 

compared to my 17 yr old brother (which he'll help me with anything but doesnt retain any mechanical knowledge what-so-ever ) i'd prolly enjoy the help

 

...or vote at the time i got out...
...i got my cans at ...my local paint store...

...frank...

 

I started working when I was barley 15. Started in a garage when I was 16. ASE Master Tech by 24,now 29 I raise my niece as my own support my wife and family with no outside help. I still wrench part time but am working my way up the management ladder. I am a wrenching assistant manager for lack of a better term.I didn't need a union as a crutch or a goverment hand out. I earned it with my own two hands,a strong mind,a desire to have a better life for myself and family. I will keep doing the same till the day I die. I look around and don't see that in many guys in "our" Generation. I know you work hard too I hear that Edde guy might turn out all right too

 

Frank nice progess on the "Frankensteiner"

 

I'm 48 and my 73 year old dad still me calls me boy. Some habits are just hard to break, i guess.

Car is looking good, Frank.

 

Im 16 and my 79 year old grandpa calls me boy some of the time.

 

Looking good Frank, getter back together you have a sweet car and will be sweeter when all done.
