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 this exact same car 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 reaction when I gave it to him....
