I spent most my childhood in the shop with my dad. Taught me the mentality of "do it right or don't do it at all".

Best memories though are when we ran IMCA Hobby Stock. Dirt track oval racing. Pulled an old car out of the weeds and ran it the first year then built a new car the next year along with one for one of our friends. Built another new car for the third year. I drove the cars and dad knew how to set them up. It was a blast for three years.

I envy that ability you guys had to work together on something. My dad was real good with tools, but was unable or unwilling to teach my anything or work together with me. The only thing was, about once a decade, if he needed a bit of free-form design work, he'd ask for my help with that. If you couldn't draw it with a square, he was helpless.
