EVERY BODY'S GOT ONE, HERE'S mine.
3/21/12
Im back here to say,ask and document my story. Since my fathers death I (and family) have been beside myself. I wake up everyday with no direction, I lost my compass guys. Everyday has been a battle within myself to overcome the past regrets. My biggest one was not seeing what was in front of me. A man that loved me no matter what.
Cut and dry: My father and I started this project, and I'm going to get my life back by resurrecting "our" old project from the depths of my mind, body and soul.

Eric;
The loss of a parent is deep and emotional and the Father and Son bond is unique and sometimes very complex. You can beat yourself up about all the "What If's" and that is part of the grieving process but it becomes unproductive and self destructing if it goes on to long.
I feel the sense of your pain and grief in the words you used but I also get the feeling of the respect and love you have for your Father.
What an awesome tribute to your Father by finishing the car you two started. Sorry for your loss and I wish you the best.

It arrives @ our shop. aka " tobin's speed shop". It was my fathers first car,he wanted me to have it. I totaled my 2002 mustang GT: drinking and driving don't mix
thats a story for another time. Its ironic how things come together making a bittersweet symphony.
