    Sunday was Father's Day. Some of us didn't have a great Father's Day. Some of us don't get to spend this day with our dad and some of us don't get to spend it with our kids. It has been 7 years since my dad past and in memory of him I started the project of restoring the car I drove in high school and worked on with him. It has taken longer than I had hoped, but has turned out better than I could have imagined. I did take the leap and wedged a 351W in it with the help of this forum. It was a learning experience to say the least. ;) Here are some pictures for you to look at. Thanks, Mike

    Very nice car. Sorry to hear about your Dad. Sometimes motivation and the result of that brings us closer to the ones closest to us.
    Again very nice car.
