Ask any auto hobbyist how he or she first got started restoring classic cars and the response is often: "Dad."
That's why the Eastwood Company today announced the Eastwood 2012 Father's Day $4000 GearWrench(r) Giveaway, celebrating the role Dads have played in passing along their enthusiasm for car restoration.
To enter, participants need to send in their favorite picture-up to 3 photos-showing a father/child auto restoration project. Finalists will be chosen by a panel of judges, and three winners will be chosen by popular vote on our website.
All participants are eligible to win the Grand Prize of over $2000 worth* of GearWrench(r) tools, while the Second- and Third-Place winners will both receive $1000 worth* of many of these tools.
