Daddy's Girl
 

This is my youngest daughter Sophie. She is 15.
If you asked her to list her hero's, she would mention Foose, Mike Lavalle and she wears a Von Dutch T-shirt not because it's fashion but because she knows who he was.
For the last 2 weeks, she has been on work experience from high school. All the kids get placed with an employer to give them a little taster before they think about choosing a career.
All her friends are placed as things like kindergarden assistants or working in nail salons.
Sophie got me to get her a place in a friends custom race & paint shop.
She is very artistic (as well as academic) and even though the school thought it an unusual choice, she has been doing great and loving the work.
I suppose the only bad thing I can say about her is that she wants a 68 Charger
Anyway, here's the shop and a picture of the little Lotus Elan she's been flatting down ready for paint.

I see a custom paint job for the HD in my future

doesn't seem like a girl job but must be fun.... I couldn't work at an auto shop with ricers all over the place! :mad:

Hope she does well....

I didn't realize that Lotus' and BMW's were "ricers" :rolleyes:

Good for her! You go girl!:thumbsup:

she's going to make a very lucky man really happy one day...imagine getting a brithday gift from your wife...a fully custom 60's mustang built by her???? :drool: :thumbsup:


way to go EA, raisin them girls right...

if it aint got a bed on it, it's considered rice...sheesh :rolleyes: :lol:

Cool!

But, um... What's wrong with her wanting a '68 Charger? I would be proud if I had a daughter that wanted a '68 Charger...

Good for her, doing what she wants to, not going with the crowd. That's great.

Yeah, but i bet you make alot of money of the stupid paint jobs they ask for ! :lol:

BMW's aren't rice, dad owns a 335 twin turbo :thumbsup: Most of these shops prob. make most of their money off ricers:banana:

"Yo dawg, V-tec just kicked in"

Good job Dad. :thumbsup:


Man, she favors you a lot doesn't she....bless her heart.

:lol:

Not Ford ...

j/k, my guess is it's because those aren't easy to find or very cheap outside the US.

Correct :thumbsup:

She did say that she would take my 69 Cougar instead though :eek:

Well, they're not that cheap/easy to find in the US anymore either... :(

Sure she doesn't want a '66 Charger??? Its in Oklahoma though...
