Build Guns With Dad – An 80% Build For Father’s Day
When I was a kid, my dad was a car guy, or well a truck guy. His hobby was to take 60 and 70s model Fords and restore them. For one summer we both worked together on a truck, and it was an opportunity for us to bond. My dad and I never had much […]
