Very cool. Some of my best memories from that age are from times spent with my dad working on his '75.

Those memories will stick with your son forever. I remember swapping a 350 into an El Camino from the GMC version with my dad 12 years ago. Was a pain in the ***, but oh so much fun doing it together with my dad. You're on the right track.

It is good to see your son taking an interest in your hobby which no doubt will become his hobby soon enough.
