Mike, my deepest condolances go out to you and your family. The same thing happened to us 1 1/2 years ago, when our son was killed by a drunk driver. We were working on my 56 Parklane, and I just can't seem to get back at it either. Don't be too quick to get rid of everything. Time does heal, but it takes time.

There have been many cases in the past where Dads have devoted the restoration to their lost loved one,it helps in the healing process to stay busy and have a goal in your life.My best to your family and sorry for your loss.

Very sorry for your loss and that of member Parklane. At a time like this everything in life seems hopeless.
I wish you both well.

So sorry for your loss. Sometimes pouring yourself into a project is a better way to heal. I hope you reconsider. Prayers are for you and your family at this time. And may God bless you and welcome your daughter into his arms.
