My dad had a 63 Corvette when I was growing up that just sat in the garage. It was given to him by my uncle just before he died of lung cancer and I think it was just too painful for my dad to work on it after that. I asked him about it right after I started college, 10 years after my uncle died, and he said "If I could get some help working on it I might do something with it". Well the next day when he came home I had the entire front end out from under the car and after that we built it back from the ground up. We finished all but the body work when my cousin (My uncle who died son) asked my dad to buy the car. My uncle had not wanted my cousin to have it when he died because he was too young and would have probably killed himself in it, but now he was a 30 year old adult with a family and he wanted to have the car to finish and remember his dad. It broke my heart to see that car go, but it was the right thing to do. I put a lot into the car, and had a lot of good memories with my dad and I hope my dad and I can make some new ones workin[IMG]file:///H:/Jody%20Media/Pictures/2003/Old%20Laptop/Florida/P6250019.JPG[/IMG]g on my shiny new 2012 SS. That is my Chevy story.
