No, being excited about your build and all the hard work you did is not silly.
The grin on your face is though.
Congrads, your car looks great. What a fun family thing you can do now with it.

The car looks really good and the interior not only looks good but looks very comfortable for those long cruises. Congrats on such a well done job.

Nice looking ride.I have always liked that body style.I know you are one proud PAPA.

Love the interior. What seats did you use?

hey geronimo, the seat I used are 2001 monte carlo seat, they are full power, have heat opition. can get them cheap at they junk yards around $150.00 a pair

yes I'm a lucky guy, my wife , is all for my car building as long a I keep the kids involved, and the kids love it!!

It's just awesome. What a beautiful ride and to know it's a family project makes it even more special.

My kids are grown, but I still enjoy working on "their cars" with them. My daughter (who is nor 26) used to sit on the fender of what ever I was working on and by the hour ask me, "daddy, what this?" I'm glad that we had that time in the garage together. She's also helped me build motors and one year for Christmas, surprised me with a new exhaust system for a car we were working on. She called one of my buddies and they trailered the car to the shop when I was out of town on business and had it back in the garage without my knowing about it. They still tell stories at the muffler shop about "the cute little girl that came in and ordered up a 2-1/2 inch system with a crossover and turbo mufflers."

My son will be 22 on Christmas day (yes - next too Jesus, my son was the best Christmas present ever!) Just got his 71 C10 from the paint shop and I always look forward to helping him with his truck. We're going to re-jet his Edelbrock Thunder series carb this week (they seem to run a bit rich out of the box) and hopefully visit a local upholstery guy to pick out some fabrick for a new interior.

Cherish the time with your children. I've never met a man who said, "I just spent too much time with my kids..." I get a lump just reading your posts.

Count your blessings - it sounds like they include a wonderful wife and some great kids!

Best Regards,
Glenn

Nice work. You have a great looking ride, and a lot to be proud of.

Beaytiful 39 buddy. Looks like you are doing everything right including the family in your efforts. My brother dan and I have been lucky to be part of hot rodding for 30 plus years with our dad. Don't take a minute for granted. Love your car! Don Jr
