Hey its no problem, I am super happy I got to spend that time with my Dad, we still have his 67 rs/ss matched number 42,000 mile that he bought brand new. We take alot of pride in what our Dad taught us. Just with my car I have won awards at four national shows. Good-Guys, Camaro Nationals, and Super Chevy.
