My 1969 Chevelle

My 1969 Chevelle has been a part of my life since I was a teen. My dad bought it in 1996 for a project for us to do together. We did do most of the work, one was the engine which a 350 Chevy we built. Went through it all and only thing we did not do was the body and paint work. We were almost done with the brakes which put a halt to things when my dad passed away from getting hit by a drunk driver during a night tow when I was 17. It was tough and mom wanted to sell it and got her not to do it. Luckily my dad's friends said they would come over and help me out. They did and I did take it for a short test drive knowing dad was in the passenger seat. Mom saw I was emotional when I got back putting it in the garage. Hugged me and she told me that he was looking down proud of me. I did get the title for it on my 18th birthday which it was put in my name. Used it in a couple of my senior pictures in 1997. Also used it for my first date with my current wife. Included in the wedding when my wife and I got married, drove it to the reception. She loved it so much I got her one too for her as a wedding anniversary present same year, a 1969 and she still loves it.
