No one has mentioned this, but as a father of three girls, one of whom will be a teenager this summer, is that these old cars are not very safe for daily driving. They are easy to hotrod with, easy for people to damage and vandalize, etc. I support the idea of father/child projects, but you need to discuss (and enforce) how the car will be used some day.

I know Colorado68 went though a similar project with his boys.

I cannot imagine spending all the time and $$ on a resto project and then tossing the keys to a teeneager. But I guess it all comes down to trust. But you can't trust that some other teenager in Mommy's Land Rover isn't going to T-Bone your kid's fgf.

...just sayin...

I'd like to know what other's views are on this subject. I keep telling my girls that they can drive my cars when they turn 30. (of course I say the same thing about dating)
