      Gift for Dad

      I purchased a 1980 Z28 for my dad about a week ago and painted it a few days ago and surprised him with it. He owned a 1980 Z28 in the same color back in the early 80s but ended up having to sell it because I was born. I just figured it was fitting that I give it back as a surprise. It still needs work (mostly interior and engine)but here are some pics of the car before and after and the priceless reaction when I gave it to him....

      That's AWESOME!!!

      We did the same thing for my mom. We gave her her dream car, a 1969 Camaro, for Christmas 1995. She almost fainted when she walked outside and saw it in the driveway.

      Good job man, it's always nice to be able to give back to your parents
