Couldn't agree more. My son and I have a common love for LBCs, and a
joy of working in the garage. We are currently working on a Midget
for him. He wanted to wait until he thought he was ready for an LBC,
and now gave me a simple proposition- I want to use your garage and
your tools. But I want to do it myself. I want you there to stop me
if I am going to ruin it, or if I ask you, but otherwise, I want you
to sit there, watch and keep the garage fridge full.
I intend to begin the process again with my new grandson. Any one
know where I can get an MG pedal car?
