I built the car with my Dad and to be completely honest, before we built this together we didn't have much of a relationship. We almost lost him last year around this time. Massive heart attack. He's better now. I want him to start working on his car, that he's had since he was 13, A 1958 Chevrolet Impala.

It's great that you and your dad have a new relationship, I always think cars bring out the best in people.

P.s Pics of said impala? Kinda got a thing for them.

I just got a '57 Chevy 210, gonna be fun as I attempt to compartmentalize fixes to weekends and evenings so I can still drive it to work. It'll be an adventure.
