Gift for my dad
I would like to do something for my dad, he has done so much for me I would like to give back atleast some.
He has a '68 Corvette Small Block, it's in pretty nice condition but nothing like a show car. I would like to get him something for his vette, but not really sure what to get. Thats where I'm hoping you all can help, anyone have any ideas?
I just turned 16 so I'm finally able to look for a job, but currently don't have one; so can't really spend a whole lot.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

When my son was 9, he gave me a coffee mug that says "no one can beat my dad" and the background was a C3. He saved his lunch money and had been eyeing this mug which he bought at their school store. "I" gave him a big hug!!!!!!!!!

OK - hugs are great ... but what kind of budget for a gift ?
Just re-read ... small budget.
A California Duster is a good gift for the smaller budget.
The small one is great for cleaning the interior.
Here is a large/small combo for $17:

Speaking of mugs, I make custom photo mugs as a hobby.
If you want, I could do a photo mug of your Dad's vette.
I would be willing to do it at cost ... about $10 shipped.
If interested, send me an email dave@NHvette.com
Here is the latest I've done:

I don't have steins left - has to be 11 oz coffee mug like these

Give your Dad a plank of wood, approximately a 2X6, 12 inches long. Paint a target in the middle. Tell him to mount it to the garage wall. That way when he restores his 1968, he has a place to bang his head.
He probably wont bang his head on it, but he will think of you and laugh every time he sees it....
