Default About the Project Name

Thank guys!

And while I know we all get tired of the father/son stories this is one of those cars.

The Project Name: I sometimes feel that car project names are cheesy or reserved for Professional Builds. However this build had a name that seemed to stick with me every time I looked at it. When I originally bought the car as a roller I threw it together quickly and drove it around the block. It drove worse than it looked. I blew it all apart at my Dad's shop. He said in a joking way that you will never drive that car again. You will loose interest in it and sell it in pieces. I said wait and see. He passed away not long after that. I thought I had a good twenty years or so to show him, but he will hopefully be watching from a better place when I do. His comments have been right, as many times I have thought of selling and building a first gen Camaro like the rest of the world. Every time those thought come up about selling I feel in a joking way I would be Unforgiven. So I must drive this pile again.... disclaimer I did not say finish but only drive again...Hah!
