It appears my last update and posting was in 2016. I apologize for not getting back to a few people who had attempted to contact us.
Moving forward:
Dad has been busy building his latest 56 Chevy. I posted a few photos today and will begin the process of placing the earlier photos (if available) in order into the album.
We have a new client, Ted Calson, who has purchased a 1965 Mustang for dad to begin working on. Ted likes his cars low, black and fast, so moving forward on the Mustang in the months ahead should be exciting. I will be posting a photo album of the progress shortly.
March will be a month of learning, as dad and I perform our first engine swap on a couple of 1966 Covairs... one of which is my daughter Lizzy's. Lizzy's Corvair will also begin to take shape in the months to come.
Lastly, my daughter Victoria will have her Alfa Romeo GTV-6 loaded into dad's trailer in May, while dad and mom are in Denver for her graduation from high school. Tori's Alfa has been an off and on project for quite a few years, but she has finally decided to keep the car and made the commitment to learn to drive.
On that note... I am noticing an alarming trend. Kids who are not interested in driving. I remember my parents taking me to get my permit at 15 years and 9 months. I was so stoked to be able to drive and the 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix that I was allowed to learn with, still holds a warm place in my heart. Maybe if car manufacturers began making cars that kids actually wanted to drive, we wouldn't have this problem. "Gee dad, thanks for giving me the keys to the Prius. You know after giving it some thought... I think I'll just take the bus instead." 😉
