With a Smile & a Tear, thanks Dad!
Permalink  

Thanks to everybody for the great compliments on our Car, it is definatly a family story.  I am very proud to say I have my Car because of my Father, but alas the circle of life goes on.  We laid my father to rest a couple of days before Christmas, he passed peacefully at home at the great age of 87.  I am very grateful to say I had him at my side throughout our restoration, He was there, even in his 80's, helping us to dismantle the Beamont. as well to help with the stages of the 5 year build.  I am happy to say He got to see the completion of our endeavor and was there to see us show off our Car.  To see his face light up as I read him our article in Bone Stock magazine and He was proudest to see the picture of his Great-granddaughter help with the build.  So it is with a smile & a tear that I will be showing off our Car over the next years, Thanks Dad, for everything, our Car is a true labor of Love.

Reading about father/son relationships like that is pretty much second to nothing. I hope the memories put a smile on your face for the rest of your life. I have a feeling they will.
