Sad day in my household. Those that have followed my build since the beginning know that I went out and purchased this car as a project to busy myself after my father passed from cancer. His twin brother, my uncle Wally, went with me when I got the project and has encouraged me the whole build. I had planned for him to come up next month and take the first ride.
On January 4th he was hit head on by a driver going the wrong way down Interstate 295 in Jacksonville, Fla. He passed away on the 8th. His entire adult life was dedicated to helping others, from being a medic in Vietnam to running the tissue donor bank (he was returning from performing a case), he always had a good joke to tell and tried to help whenever possible. Life is short, make the best of it and if you're out drinking and having a good time.........think about this post and take a cab home.
