I’ve been watching plenty lately between shifts at the ER. (Paramedic). I wrench and tinker on my off days when I can in my home shop. Trying to build up my knowledge and inspiration for one day being able to make the transition when I retire, from medic to mechanic/fabricator/tinkerer. Your channel is helping me along my journey for sure. Thank y’all, Jason AB, from Texas.

He will NEVER forget the lessons he learned doing that with dad. I do wish that more kids (and parents) had the kind of opportunity you gave him. My dad taught me confidence and how to be handy, so when I got my first vehicle at 16 I was able to work on it at least SOME. So many kids today couldn't change the oil or even a tire and it's a damn shame. This build makes me miss my '87 K5. I didn't put my motor back together right after replacing the rods and I blew it up on the way to Cape Hatteras. Now everything is electronics-this and computer-that... but I still love a square-body.
