    She is very cute!! Beach Boys and DLR were not joking when they sang about CA girls. I have an eight and five year old. Looks like she does good work.

    She is a DOLL Woodie. Congrats. Cute kids are so... well, CUTE!

    A wire wheel will also clean that off. Squirt some top coat on before laying down new carpet. Maybe even brush on some POR15?

    She hated ballet!!! She was the only kid in her age group who actually wanted learn something, as opposed to looking preaty, so she got frustrated and quit. But she loves the "race car". Hoping to go to a jr. dragster race and see of she'd be interested. :Do No:

    She loves going fast... :Dou:

    Pete, I'm pulling the th-400 and putting the 4-speed back into it... IF I can keep from tearing it appart any more... :Dou:

    Hows your project going??? Got that 455 in yet :Brow: ...

    She is adorable. Its always good to teach kids while they are young, so when they get older they already know how to do the trade.

    Michael, I don't know if anyone has told you yet.... but the tranny is UNDER the car.
    You can't get to it from under the carpet.... unless your floor is really bad.
    Just jack the car up and you'll be able to get right to it.
    It's the big thing bolted right to the back of the engine.
    :pp :laugh:

    My 15 year old son is right there with me as we progress through our project. My 13 year old daughter who takes dance lessons 4 days a week, goes to the gym with mom 3 times a week, talks on the phone constantly and has no time for daddy will stand at the garage door and ask "Will my car be ready when I get my license?"

    start them out young, and make it fun and they will help you all of the time. My little girl(13 and 6ft!) loves to helpwith the Buick. She had a semi-formal dance on Friday night and was VERY mad that I could not take her in the Buick. So I picked her up in it and stopped on the way to do a good burnout!
    She said that all was good now.
