Default Dad's maiden ride in the 30 AA

Pop's maiden voyage in his almost complete 30 AA Ford Truck today. This 67 year old man was like a kid in a candy shop. From helping me with math homework as a kid, spending hours playing tic-tac-toe when I was home sick from school, coaching me in baseball, tearing my rear end up with a belt when it needed it, helping me financially when I was down on my luck, to now spending time with me in our shop grinding down rust and applying urethane. I could never repay this man enough for everything he has done for me. He is awesome. Restoring this truck for him to enjoy is nothing compared to what he has done for me. Thanks Dad.

Scott - You are truly blessed, a fine tribute to your Dad, and surely a wonderful example for all to emulate. May your efforts be richly rewarded - and "Pop" be around to tan your hide for a good long time. Blessings, Sir.

Great video and nice truck. Also great to have that relationship. Not everyone does, for many different reasons. It is nice when you do.

Good thing he only had a gallon of gas, he might not have ever stopped!
