Very cool makes me think of my dad. We had barely started our corvette project when he passed away but at least he left me with something that always makes me think of him when I walk in my garage

Great video. Your father looked like he had a great time and incredibly talented hands. I know he was riding shot gun with you. Way to get it completed in his honor, he would be proud.
