I don't mind at all
I am a captain on the B737 for Continental Airlines
I've been flying there since 1985.
but I had a job as a kid in high school sweeping floors at
a tool and die shop... worked my way up there doing lathe
and milling work to pay for my flying. I really fell in love with
that kind of work...doing stuff with my hands.
I decided if I could ever afford a shop that's what I'd do for
fun.

Extremely nice work, I'm on the verge of speechless. My dad was a ford display fabricator his entire life and I can't get him to do anything for my cars. Your son is a VERY lucky man and I hope hes doing everything he can to learn some of your skills.

I can't wait to see how this ends.

[Chamb-O]

wow really cool metal work man

[Wake]

I was thinking the same thing while looking at the other thread.

I wish my dad even gave a fuck about cars at all. I hope your sons know how lucky they are.

Haha, I mean I lucked up because I have all the really nice tools to use, but this is awesome that they are doing this together, and from the pics it looks like his son is involved fully so that's even better. Its good to see for sure. And I WANT one of those consoles haha.

My oldest son is a computer programmer,and the 240SX is his project.
He's done all of the research for his car and he has learned fabricating
skills and done both tig and mig welding on this project. The fan shroud
was his first go at tig, and he did great after a little practice.
My youngest is graduating next week with a dual degree in mechanical
and aerospace engineering.
They both like anything fast on land, snow or water. The younger son
is going to help me run the suspension design for the next car and help
build and design that one. They are both great kids and I'm the lucky one
to have them as my boys!

[240sohc]

such craftsmanship on display. envious and inspired.

[PerilousActs]

Speechless. I don't think I've seen sheetmetal work like that on this site for...years, if at all. Hands down one of the cleanest vq swaps into an s-chassis. It took me 4 years to get my dad to teach me to weld, so props on actually doing stuff with your son that you guys enjoy. I wish I had half your skills.

I want that center console as well. 0.0

Edit: Yay for another programmer into cars!

[stephens14sr]

holy hell.

[KrazyS13]

Wow, amazing work! Both you and your sons projects are turning out great! That console blew my mind!

Subscribed!

[bb4_96]

I'm jealous. 2nd 240 build I have ever seen to make me actually jealous. I am seething with envy, that's how I would describe it.

Congrats to you sir on a fantastic job. And it isn't even finished... to my knowledge.
