Re: wrenching partner



Yes some of us are blessed. Mine has helped put rings on pistons, pump the brakes to help bleed them,handed wrenches to me and done numous other things that I needed help with.  Help install engines.  I have a 66 Valiant that I am going to fix up for her.  She will end up helping me on that.  Guess I got lucky.  Gary
