I love this. I love seeing a young man do all of that work with your guidance. Great work dad, son and grandpap.

Some of my fondest memories were working on cars with my Dad.

My Dad definitely got us into '55 Chevy's.

In 1975, Dad bought what is now my '55 for $60. (Yellow one in a few of the pictures) Flat towing home from Missouri behind a green '55 that Dad's friend bought on the same trip, a rear axle bearing went bad on the yellow car, so they changed the whole housing with one from a junkyard along side the road. The '60 Impala 4dr hardtop was Dad's car they drove down, and left it at a junkyard, trading it for a door for my uncle's 63 Impala.

Dad always wanted to build it into an American Graffiti replica, but never finished it. I bought it from him in 2017.
Needless to say, we're all 3 excited to see the American Graffiti and Two Lane Blacktop cars at MCACN in a few weeks!
