This started about and a half ago when my dad was very sick and I wanted him to have a ride in his car before he past. Well he did get that ride and he was full of smiles.

He passed about a year ago and since then I have removed the numbers matching stuff as they are in a need of a rebuild and replaced them but keeping them safe until I can do a complete restore of the car. There has been so much support on this site to make all of this possible and I thank everyone that has helped me.

Now for today this was the longest trip the Bee has taken in 20 years (about an hour on the freeway) with no problems except a rock to the windshield so that will have to be fixed. Now the car is finally home here in Vacaville. Jim

Glad to hear your dad got a ride in the Bee. I'll bet he was thinking that it was one of the best days ever.
