That's awesome it went to a great home. Such a cool car. Probably the only era of vette I like. Speaking of Vettes, my dad's is still in my garage. Been trying to sell it but had only two guy's that actually came to see it. One dad that was gonna give it to his 17yr old son. I said, he'll kill himself in a week. A bunch of teens called I told them the same thing, so I kept the price high to ward them off. They can afford 5 grand but not 7g's. It's been quiet since the gv shutdown and hopefully now that is over I'll have some calls. Has 500 views and 25 favorites. Just need to find that one older guy that won't lowball me. Anyways, so cool you got to see the northern lights, can't see em in Utah.

Brother got the '58 up on the lift to start degreasing it. Lol, he got out the air needle scaler out and got 67yrs of dried up grease off, 11 lbs of it. Today he got the degreaser out and then presure washed it. Man what a difference. He said he's got pleanty of leaky things to fix before he gets to start repainting under there. Yep, it went to the right place😁

^^^^^^^Thanks! I caught a lot of flak for giving it to him. But it stays where it belongs and i haven't driven it in 10 yrs. Somethings aren't about the money. I did drive it out of the shop over to the transporter. All i could do to turn it.
We don't get to see the Northern lights down here in southern Kansas, rare. But it was a good one .

Dang, the transporter had a great trip. Got to L.A. early and made 2 deliveries there, then called my brother to see if they could deliver early, 2 days early. So a short 54hrs after it left here my brother has it safe at home😁 We'll both sleep easy now!

I've been through these things several times and there is something important to remember. People hang on to things because they mean something to them. Some hang on to more than others. They don't hang on to it to burden others and they don't expect others to fell the same way. Some of the stuff does't mean any more than, " I may need that someday." Well sadly that day has passed. If there is something there that has meaning for you keep. I have a ton of crap here in that category that I am trying to use up. I'm also trying to re-home other stuff and making frequent dump runs to lessen the load on my sons. I'm 80. Your dad did not want to stress you out or make you feel guilty about his stuff. So do what feels good for you. His things are not him. What is left of him is in you. That is enough.  That doesn't mean the necessary business isn't a lot of unpleasant work.

Volvo V70 wagon roofs circa '01-'07. fit perfectly on my Buick Marquette sedan. Might not be s plentiful there though. But then I seem to have no way to get hold of a Vortec 4100 engine, the sixes in the more modern GM trucks or SUVs, and I would guess you could drown in a sea of them over there. I don't think I ever even saw a Tahoe. Sounds funny when I say it.

Sorry so many have to go thru that. And how many times they tell you... "you need to do this or that". Well if its that damned important to you, you do it or look into it😡 Then years later.... where is the money🙄 ( my two half sisters mothers)
Hang in there!
