That's great! Spend all the time you can with him.

As I said in my earlier post my father restored cars. His philosophy was a little different. He restored them as near as possible to original. He owned and restored a 21 Ford T, 29 Ford A, 38 Chrysler, 49 Studebaker Champ, and 56 Belair. He's gone now. He and I spent many hours in his garage (a huge 30' by 60' garage). The time we spent together working on cars were some of the best times of my life. I wish I realized how special the time we spent together was.

that is one nice looking car. I would be asking to drive it every chance that I got

I just got a hard on!!
