The best thing ever.

"This truck was built by 3 kids ages 14 & 11 and with a little help from dad & mom in a weeks time. It was built by donated parts with only about $500 being actually spent and it is driven daily. Me being mom thinks that it is great that we are trying to keep the tradition of car building alive , it may not be a traditional truck but to everyone that we meet they think it is awsome."

Little kids.

Mom and Dad.

ONE WEEK.

The only way it could've been better is if they let the 11 year old drive it to the show. I'm so happy.

I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree! Tell them they kick bootie.

 

That's what it's all about. Cool truck.

 

I'd drive that thing as a daily in half a second. I love that truck. Man, when I have kids, I'm gonna do that...

 

Looks cool!

Any build shots with the kids doing stuff?

 

Thats awesome! Inspiring to say the least!

 

Looks like you shortened the wheelbase, what chassis did you use?
COOL TRUCK!

 

if it's the stock chasis, how did you get it so low in the front?

 

awesome....

 

CONGRATULATIONS,
Its beautiful, whatta you mean it's not traditional?????

 

way cool! I hope my son goes the same way, but in germany you can't afford such a truck

 

Ok, so it wasn't Conder's kids. Someone else's. From the Hot Rod a Rama thread. Conder just pointed it out. It's on a Monte Carlo chassis.

 

Family time can be an awesome thing......this is a great post!

 

I got my '53 chevy truck when I was 14, as my first ride. I've had it 25 years now, and I think I'll be burried in it .

Many, many years of great memories are loaded into my truck, I'm sure the kids that built this truck will feel the same way someday.

Bitch'n !

I like it !

Great Job, tell the boys !

 

That's just down right awsome. Give your kids a high five for me, then take them out for pizza and a movie.

 

I earned this car free and clear when I was 15. RUST FREE (in kentucky?) '55, N.O.S. Good-year cheater slicks, 3" Rockets on the front. I'd kill to have this car today! I never got it running, it was too big of a project with just me working on it.

This truck is a hell of an example on how far you can get when the right folks work together. Too cool...

 

Kids and old cars are the coolest combo!! Let yours know they did a great job. It's good to see young'uns getting greasy and having a feeling of accomplishment. Great work!!!

Here's me and my oldest in our '62 Rambler.

 

Dang, I would like to see some build shots of this thing.

 

I agree. More pics please.

Congrats to all involved.
