My Dad built this racer when I was 11 years old. Followed in his footsteps loving cars ever since. That was 64 years ago!

By profession and inclination my dad was a carpenter who also loved boats. Our first father-son project was a lightweight hydroplane. We built it his way, with all the right materials and hardware. And he let me use his prized Evinrude. The photo is the only one I have, with me about 13 years old and only my dad's arm.
He did encourage my car dreams a few years later, and helped me rebuild a lightly wrecked Fiat Spider picked from an insurance salvage yard. Now my son has his first big car project, building a track car from a MR2 carcass, and I get to help. Attached image(s)
