Oh and I forgot to mention the most important part of this. This is a tribute build for the owner. When he was a child, he and his dad would take long drives in his dad's convertible Caprice. He was always promised, "This will be yours when you are old enough to drive." Well, it was stolen before he could get behind the wheel and he always swore he'd have one one day. After many years, he married and started trying for a child. When it wasn't happening, they saw a doctor. He informed them that they would be unable to have a child and it really took it's toll on the couple. After a few years surprisingly, they had what they always wanted, a little girl! She progressed like little girls should but one day after she turned 2 years old, had a fatal heart attack. They were devastated.
Forward a few more years and he and I meet after he sees a job I completed. We get going on this and now he's got a piece of his daughter back. He is driving the wheels off this car. It recently took best of show at a local car show. We are very excited!
