This is more than likely going to a bit of a different post but i'm hoping you guys can give me a few tips or pointers. It's mt farther's birthday coming up soon and he is a nightmare to buy for. But this time i have an angle to go in, Hot Rods! He owns his own body shop where he repairs and re-sprays cars and at the side his own personal Hot Rod garage. Now in all honesty i have no idea when it comes to Hot Rods or mechanics in general, so what could i get him? What would you guys love as a gift off your son on your B-day keeping in mind i'm not rich ha ha.
His Hot Rod is an old shell with wheels and an engine nothing inside the cockpit so to speak so that might help you guys to help me! Looking forward to your reply's Hotrodders!!
Talk to a local pinstriper? Get some prices on doing some detail work, either on his car directly, or even a cooler, fire extinguisher, stainless steel coffee mug, shift knob...then pick a number ($ amount) and give your dad a gift certificate for that amount. When your dad turns in the gift cert, have the painter call you and pay him. This way your Dad can buy an object (pinstriped coffee mug), or have a discount on a bigger piece (pinstriped hoodscoop).
I love the idea of getting something related to Hot Rods instead of actual parts for the hot rod. This might be a better idea because i am clueless to what he would want on his Hot Rod, unless i get him involved and scrap the surprise...?
Thanks for the help everyone i will be back soon after a little research
