this april my mom passed away from lung cancer at the age of 64. My parents were married for 40 years. For my dad's birthday at the beginning of may, we entered his 1953 ford f-100 into the ford supernationals in carlisle pa. i have added a pic to my folder. he has had the truck for 30 years and started the street rod conversion 20 years ago. The primer has been on for 10 years, the last time it was washed was 7 years ago. needless to say it has not seen a lot of attention lately, so we were not trying to wow anyone. Hell the interior is an old lincoln bench seat. There is no interior.
I went with my youngest son, it is the first time I have seen my dad smile since he lost his best friend. It is amazing how a car can impact a person. My dad enjoyed his time talking, watching, and cruising. He is going to start spending time getting the truck ready for next year.
As an aside, we have put together a team to raise money for lung cancer for the philly marathon - i have never run 13 miles, but what the hell. If you would like to donate, that would be great.
