Chris,

Thats a very nice car you have there. I wish I still had my first 69 Camaro back when I was sixteen. Great story.

myself and chris met at our work ...discount auto parts at age 17.. my first job...we both had 69 camaros .... his was the nicer of the two his being restored and mine just a repaint .i also ...through the last 17 years we have worked on many cars together and helped each other out and grown older...its great to see that the car is back and redone...for him and his son to enjoy and as a tribute to his dad..who was a great man....

Chris is getting even more exposure, I just saw his cars on Car Crazy, along with the letter he wrote to Barry Mcguire.

Congrats again, Chris!

Thats a great story for a great car. Brought a tear to my eye as it reminded me of my father doing the same thing for me when I was 15. He figured that buying me a car & getting me to work on it with him it'd keep me outta trouble & give me direction, plus I grew a whole lot closer to him. Difference was I had a vintage 2 seater convertible (1937 Morris 8) & we built it from the chassis up.I know how you feel Chris, my dad passed away last year as well & when i'm working on my cars I still think "how would dad have done that?".

Great story. I can't wait to introduce my boys to the world of hot rodding.
