    I've got my buddy matchstick helping me repair my 62 econo. He's the boss i'm the helper. My van was hit pretty hard on the side. We got a good a patch from Econoline tim and fixed the side. I tried the "it'll fix itself method" and it didn't work. After waiting a year nothing happened. It was time to call in matchstick. We set a goal to start on 1-1-2013. It's gonna happen and it did. Here are some pictures of our progress since that day.

    Really nice work!
    Great seeing your son in the mix.
    Showing him the effort required for a task and that you don't stop until it's right are important life lessons.
