Hi Jim,

I have watched all 3 of your resto threads. The other 2 cars came out so perfect, I have no doubts this one will be the same as the others. I'm glad to read about your daughter being on the spectrum, because my 8 year old son is on the spectrum as well. He loves cars, but his attention span is awful. He is only 8 after all. I have to keep telling myself that. We are building a 69 cuda notchback for him. I am currently doing all the sheetmetal replacement. He has helped with a lot of it however. I am happy to read about the attention span thing at her age because it let's me know I am not alone with this, and typically what it will be like when he gets older.

I can’t say it gets easier, it just becomes different. He is getting to an age that is difficult. Watch carefully for depression and problems at school. She went through a rough time in high school but she was not correctly diagnosed until after high school. They were treating her for bipolar and mental disorders. Things turned around once she was diagnosed and had the correct treatment / counseling.
