I think, without a doubt, he will be proud to drive it - teaching a young man to be proud of his effort and hard work is a rare find now days. I maybe out of line, and bit old fashion by saying that one must learn to be proud of his efforts as we live in instant gratification society where money makes the difference. Well, surprise, it does not - as hard work still counts.

As for body work - I think I will try my hand at it on my next project. More tools and supplies (hopefully, XYL does not mind). Keep us updated - love to see your progress photos.
