    What a great story. I can only imagine how your Pop felt. Your Mom and Dad raised you and your Brother right for you both to do such a great thing for them both. Your Mom looks pretty exited too. Things like this are what family is all about.

    It was also super considerate of the owner to sell it back to you, so many people would have not been so understanding.

    Nice story, great looking hot rod.

    A couple more pics from the weekend, my dad looking at his work he did 49 years ago and my mom looking inside where she sat.
    A pic of the inside with the cool Ford Galaxie seats and the ugly carpeting(My dad did not put in when he had it). :eek:
    It is really weird seeing that 34 coupe at my Dads tonight and a awesome feeling at the same time.......
