Your dad will be looking down and smiling for ya saying that's my boy. Building your car in his honor is a wonderful thing to hear. Sorry to hear about your loss.

Sorry to hear about your dad bud.... the car sounds pretty sweet. Couldn't agree with you more about cars being good therapy. He'll be with you in spirit down the track man.....

Take it easy, and I'm looking forward to pics! :D
