Default Re: Helping out a young newbie model A owner later today

When I was 15, my dad was living out if state for about a year working on a large case (he's an attorney). At the time I was trying to get an old 56 vw I owned up and running. I called a friend of his that had a ton of experience on old British cars-Morgans, MGs etc (my dad has a 51 MG). Even though it wasn't a make he normally worked on, he came over and spent time showing me how to get it running and tuned up (besides what person growing up in the 60s-70s didn't have at least some experience on one). The guy spent a few evenings after work for him and school for me. We became good friends outside of my dad and I will always remember him for not just fixing the car for me, but showing me how to do things. It's a good thing you are taking the time to help this young guy out. Great to see young people that are into old iron. And it is people such as yourself, every bit as much as the cars themselves , that will get people into the hobby and keep them there
