I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Debbie seemed like a wonderful partner to spend your life with. 

Although cars are only objects, they do hold a special place as a touchstone of great memories of happier times. 

May the restoration bring you purpose, peace and solace in a cathartic way. 

She was, and thank you so much, your kind words mean a lot to me.

I've never really been a guy to give names to cars, but I've decided to name my Zed Dallas, in memory of the nickname that Deb always has called herself. So from now on Dallas it is. 🙂

So sorry Mike! Cancer sucks...

So sad and sorry to read this. Don't know what to say as reading it back to myself it just sounds trite.

Just keep going Mike.

Thanks, @Patcon, @HS30-H, @bartsscooterservice for your your kind words of support. Just taking one day at a time. With the exceptional support of my son and some of our very close friends, it's slowly getting a little easier.

I will continue living for the moment as Deb always had.  You just never know what life will throw at you tomorrow. I'm very thankful for the 44 years she gave me.

Sorry to hear this @CanTechZ and best of luck with the restoration.  It will be a very nice memorial when you're done.

Thanks very much. I'm looking forward to re-doing some of our favorite drives when it's finished.

Took a day off work and decided to get my garage more organized so that I can more easily work on the parts and sub-assemblies. First step was getting everything outside. I couldn't resist laying out a bunch of the parts and taking a few pics before I start putting it away.🙂

You should have a sign that says “some assembly required “.

It's been way too long since my last update, I've been very busy. I thought I should at least share some pics.

Looks great!

Oh my, you have been busy - and in secret all these months! Fantastic job, beautiful car. Congrats on an outstanding effort.
