Thanks for the great comments everyone!! They mean a lot . I am going to drive the Roadster today just for my Dad . Even if it's just to the coffee shop , it will be perfect !!
I hope everyone enjoys the their day !!!
Here are a few more pics. The first one is just a few of my Dad through the years . He was a huge picture taker and I am fortunate to have thousands of pictures to enjoy .
Here is when we drug the Roadster body out of the barn. He had a few Roadster bodies along the way but he would sell them and go find a better one. Problem was that he sold the last one in 1971 and had also started a family around the same time so he ended up getting stuck without one . He had every other part but a body . He was always on the hunt and he found this one . There is a cool story that goes along with it but we will start with the pics .
First one is when the door was opened for the first time in 20+ years . We had to dig it out . My Dad was a happy guy !!
Look at all that old junk that was in there
Here I am in the back of the truck helping load . I had just turned 14 and he let me take a day off from school to come play !!
My Dad and I after she was loaded
Unloading
And the last for now , she is safe and my Dad was super happy and excited . This is in a good friends shop where the car stayed for a while . We lived in a residential area with a 2 car garage so he had to make room . I will post a pic of that later . It was a tight squeeze .
Merry Christmas Dad ! We all miss you .
