A month ago my 13 year old nephew said he wants a classic car and wants my help to build it.
I have a 71 Duster up the hill that I had planned on fixing up but this thing with the kid is something more important. I’ve always wanted to have a kid to guide, to mentor. He was all excited about the car and we have discussed plans for it.

Hmm. The hood was hard to open but it looks like it got the worst of it.
The grille was already cracked.

The right fender was untouched and just as crappy as it was before. The left fender took damage at the top.

It could have been a lot worse.
