Yup, early 50’s here.

Plus, all my components are still working, just a little slower 🙄

I think you all know I have my dad's GTO. The sight and smell of that car sure brings back a lot of memories.

After I had my own shop I was able to sequester the car away and get it cleaned up, de-tuned and with the right tire/wheels on it.





Dad also had this little '63 Lemans. He kicked off a mild restoration (new top, paint, wheels, underhood detail) but sadly never got to ride in it after it was completed.
