For the Love for my Father, My 69 GTX Restoration

100%.....If you only knew how long I pondered on how to appropriately label this thread....

I was tinkering around the X tonight and the memories kinda poured out.....Very tough not having him around....Would have given anything to be at this point and to hand him the keys....And see the grin on his face......

He's grinning! And as ear to ear as you are

Great video Justin! Glad you got the first spin in. I want a video of the first sidestep on the clutch! Just like your Dad did in your story. Looks and sounds fantastic.

A great first drive! With the care and attention this car has received I'm sure no one is surprised it had no issues! It is simply proof of the OUTSTANDING job you have done.

You dad is justifiably proud - no doubt of that.

The "windup" is a forgone conclusion,lol. I was waiting for a 'Ronnie Sox' powershift! Maybe after a thorough break-in? It's not hard to do, all you have to think "it's not my car"!
