    I wish I could keep it too

    The really sad part about the whole story is the market is so flooded with cars its not going to bring as much as its worth Im afraid.

    What do you guy's feel a good asking price would be?

    Very nice car, and a real tribute to your dad! I think he'd understand selling it, and I think he'd look at what you build with YOUR son as just as much a tribute to what you guys had.

    You touched me, and not in a gay way. My Father has lung cancer and I have been spending every moment with him. Hell, I even wheeled him around Columbus today. Very sorry for you're loss!!

  22. Wow, that struck a nerve. Thank you soooo much for sharing your tribute to your Father with us. I lost mine over 15 years ago and I think of him everyday. Everytime I work on, drive or just look at one of my cars I hope that he knows that I will always love him for being the best Father that I could have ever asked for. He's the one that got me into traditional cars and building. I can't thank him enough.

    It's tough to lose someone close to you but he will always be there guiding you in the right direction. This direction being the correct one for you at this time.

    Great job and good luck.

    From your words and the build, it's kind of obvious that he may not be here, but is by no means gone.

    Nice car, nicer tribute!

    Bravo man... The goal of every parent is to produce an upgrade. Pops is still here - in you. What resulted in you clearly forged a deep, disciplined, and appreciative mind. Keep producing, and carry you and your Pop's honor forward. It's our pleasure to see you here.

    Beautifully written. Every word serves it's purpose perfectly. Your Dad knows when you're think of him and it makes him smile. Thank you for posting this thread. It gives most all of us food for thought.
