    Alright guys, been quiet for the last week or so because we have been busy playing with the new toy! Decided to keep it low key at the end and surprised him at the house when the entire family "randomly" happened to be there :) He had absolutely no idea, it was really a great moment. Not just for him or myself but really for the entire family! Really shows you how far hard work can get you!
    I had my go pro set up to video his reaction as he came around and saw the car, but murphy's law kicked in and it wouldn't connect so that didn't happen, but here are a couple of photos.
    Dinner got cold and him & I spent a couple of hours exploring and admiring the car :)

    We took it out to his shop last weekend and did a few minor things, turned front rotors, made a list of things we'll be working on and looks like we need to replace the passenger side tie rod end so that has been ordered. Need to order the fusebox upgrade so we can work on some other minor things. Overall the car really is in fantastic shape. I spent about 4 hours washing & detailing it today for the firs time since I got it back to Houston. Owning this is intoxicating! Thank you all again for your help during this process. Signed up Dad for a car meet next weekend already, he's really looking forward to it.

    What a great gesture, superb token of how you appreciate your Dad/parents/family !

    My Dad (yes, I never write the word without a capital D) never was a "car guy", but had a passion for football, for which I don't care one bit. He also never attended a race, always afraid to see his son "crash live". Nevertheless we had a very close relationship, appreciating and admiring each other and the things we did/were good at.

    We had to say goodbye to our Dad some 4 years ago (he reached the age of 78, lost the fight from his kidney disease), but I still say "hi Dad !" to him every morning.

    I wish the both of you a century of happy and healthy motoring ! Put the miles on !!!!

    Thanks guys. It was really fun working with it last weekend. Reminded me of just how it was when I was 6-7 years old running around his shop while he worked. I def have a lot to learn on it.

    What a way to honor your Father! The smile on his face in the second pic is telling. You are both very lucky men. Salute.
