Good that he wants to be involved like that. You will be surprised when he gets older and remembers things like this. Plus he is learning a good hobby that is the greatest one going IMO. Teach him well and enjoy.

Grit blasters are great, but you've got to wear a some good filtration gear; blow your nose into a white kleenex after just one minute of using the grit blaster and you'll see why. That being said, having a dedicated air compressor in your garage is so useful, you have to have one to appreciate it.

[IMG]http://[/IMG] He just wanted to drive it during high school. He's been in Texas for a year or so, and is planning on coming back to western Washington. Wants to help swap engines, suspension & brakes and then race it. Told him I'd help.
Sorry. I've a good picture of him (age 17) in my car lookin' very proud. Thought I knew how to post pictures here, but I guess either the rules changed or I need to go back to something 101.
