That is great. She looks a lot more at home with ice cream than the grinder in one of your previous posts.

My daughter started off in the shop as Daddy's Little helper. She completed her apprenticeship as a Canadian Red Seal Mechanic. Starting this fall, my daughter will be teaching high school shop. She teaches robotics, programming and code along with hands on machinery use. To get her shop teacher certification she did two years in University and two additional years in trade school
My daughter has better confidence because she has abilities that do not limit her to teaching Social Studies, only.

While this is certainly "light duty", i did put the 'ol girl to work this weekend

Just a little update. I finally got tired of the oil leak, so i pulled the intake to regasket everything. I'm happy that took care of it! I had a bit of trouble getting the timing right to get it to run like it was running. I think it's pretty good now. It was weird in the fact that it would idle great but under load it just didnt have power and didnt sound quite right. I took a few degrees of timing out and that appears to have made the difference. I'm hopeful it is not another fuel delivery problem.....but it shouldn't be unless a piece of trash is in the carb somewhere.

The projects are never over, right?

I ended up putting a Wilwood master cylinder and front calipers on a couple weeks ago.

Brad, Truck looks awesome! I bet it stops as well as it goes!

She certainly does NOT have anti-lock brakes and will lock all 4 tires if mashed. There is some fine tuning that i suppose could still be done. Overall though, i like how the brakes are working.

Figured I'd share this and add it to the thread. I had a daddy/daughter dance on Saturday night and drove my date in "Smokey". "Smokey", is the new name of the truck as one of my daughters friends named it and was telling her mom how awesome it was and how they got to take pictures in it. So, here's Smokey and a cool pic from Saturday night

Brad, It doesn't get any better than that!!!! AWESOME!!

Yep great picture! I can imagine that if 20 years from now those little girls some how all got together as young women and viewed that photo what a great time they would have!
