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.
