Sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad about two months back and regardless of the details it is not an easy trip. The Henry J looks great, and I am sure you will enjoy continuing the tribute by keeping it and working to finish it in your own way.

Welcome to the forum. I'm really very sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. I can only imagine how sad this must be for you. But he lives on in the car you inherited, and I honestly believe he will be right beside you every time you work on it or drive it.

My Dad died when I was only 11, so I never really got to know him as I wish I could have. You have to look at it in the way that all those times you had with him were a gift, one that can never be taken away.

Now for the car. Those are one of my all time favorites, and yours is really great looking. Seems well done from the pictures. Honor your Pop, keep it forever, and as hard as it is for you to look at now, that will pass and become an inspiration to you to stay the kind of Son he wanted you to be. From the way you did you post, I think he did a hell of a job raising you and is smiling down on you right now.

Oh, and did I mention, DON'T EVER SELL THIS CAR!!! If my Son's ever sell any of mine I'm going to haunt them.
