Welcome
Great story with even better pictures.
Do you still have that orange Dodge jacket your fathers wearing in that pic too?

Sure do! Now his 18 yr old grandson wears it.

Very COOL Juan!

Does your mom still have those boots? (just kidding! )


AWESOME story, vintage photos, and website!

Well Juan, let me add my welcome to all the others so far. What a terrific story and some very cool vintage pics.

It's nice to see the enthusiasm passed down between generations. When I got back in the Musclecar hobby in the early 1990's I restored a 64 Goat. My son was 13 at the time and he just loved that car. However, he expressed no interest in the other Musclecars I've had since then. Sounds like your offspring are well on track to keep your tradition alive. Thanks for sharing.
