Well David, it's all been said above, so I won't repeat it. I wish my dad were alive to see and ride in my truck. I'm a Vietnam Era vet, my dad was a WWll vet, and it would have been awsome to ride around together.
I believe my friends and strangers understand my love for the vehicle more than most family members. They have a hard time understanding the pleasure I get from doing my own maintenance on the truck. Also the thrill of driving it and showing it at shows, but most of all I like meeting the people who show interest in it and ask alot of questions about it.
You finish that truck for your dad and for yourself. Good luck to dad.
