Daughters are cute
That yellow scooter is a nice little project, but I think your daughters are your best work.
Before you know it you will be walking them down the isle. Enjoy them while you have them.

Solar panels? Gives it pseudo-carbon fiber look. Some expertise in our area even!

Scooter/Kids
Hi Fred, Actually only ONE of them is my daughter. The other is my daughters friend - she's ALMOST as adorable as my "CJ" is.
Please don't remind me of the future (j/k)- I am SO happy seeing them this second right now - I could forgo the rest!!!
In actuality though - I DO have 2 rugrats - there's my son - possible future "car guy" - hopefully. If either decides they are seriously "into" Old Hot Rods - I have an Early (20's or 30's) Chevy truck in pieces - possibly a father son or father daughter project. Only problem - I'm OUT of garage space!!!!!!! Good thing I have a few years to clean up my act!!!!
Solar - now THERE'S a thought!!!!!!!!!!!! First I gotta get rest of the wirign to work though - I get anal about certain stuff having to work!!! <wink>

With the white dress I can almost make out the halo and wings.
If Donavan is anything like Mostmint, GMJohnny, or BasementPaul,
He will be helping and handing you wrenches for a long time.
I like the old pickup possibilities with you two.
My Father supported this sickness that we have by providing each of my boys with a jalopy.
To their credit, through all the body work and motor swaps, the family budget never incured any
of their automotive expenses. Maintaining those vehicles created some great bench racing stories.
I support WXO's idea, I thing the scooter would make a great canvas for a lightining bolt.

Scooter Update
Well I've been draggin' my feet on getting back to the scooter project, but finally buckled down to make the new decklid. I copied the factory lid fairly close except I made it out of a little thicker material. I still need to make brackets for a seat belt for the kids... Still got some winter time left!!
