Having a dad who enjoys working on cars, rebuilding engines and just tinkering, I have to admit, comes in quite handy.  I’ve never had to have a mechanic because I’ve always had my dad around to help out when a problem arises.

Now that Zack is on the verge of getting his license, he’s been spending more time working on my dad’s old pickup truck that will eventually be his when it is done.

Once upon a time, the truck they are working on looked like this.

I do hope that someday, soon, that it looks somewhat like that again.

The great thing about this project of their’s is that they are always on the hunt for replacement parts for it and also discarding parts they can no longer use.  One man’s junk auto part is another man’s treasure.

I love to spend a lot of time on Pinterest and lately, I’ve been checking out different projects we can do with some of the junk parts that my dad and Zack come up with and I’ve slowly been pinning them to a board of their own, saving them for when the time comes.

Hopefully, when they finish the truck and are ready to part with some spare parts I can work on a project.  Until that time comes, I’ll just keep pinning.

Be sure to follow me on Pinterest to keep up with the progress.
