Finally found one for Dad.

Dad will be 59 in October. I'm hoping to have it ready then. Although Dad liked driving the six cylinder Nova I had he digs the small block Nova I have now and mentions his old Chevelle with the 327 4 speed alot. The six in the Camaro is tired and is a replacement engine from the 80's. The car is very solid but will need some floor pan work and a couple of fenders and possibly one quarter. Trunk looks great and the frame rails looked nice too. A battery issue took care of one fender and extension, core support and the tray itself... I like the 15x8 rally wheels but again, Dad really digs Torque Thrusts so I think it will have a set of tto's when I get to that point.

That is great, wish I could do that. I always say that if my dad were still here I would get him a blooming onion and a cordless drill.
This also reminds me of a friend whose brother bought a 69 Z, had Super Car Workshop restore it. He had shipped to a car show and he went nuts looking for the owner untill his brother handed him the keys.

That is one reason for doing this. We have always been close and I live next door to him now. Dad was diagnosed with cancer last year and although I had planned on buying something for him eventually I did think it was time to move a little quicker. The Cancer he has is slow and he is doing well. He still outworks me most of the time....


I'm not getting him the onion because I would have to ride with him later ..... I think I borrowed his cordless drill .. I know I have his level and skill saw
