Woodward -
So sorry for your loss.
I don't have any input to your decision on what to do with your '72 Dart.
I just want to suggest you keep all of the good memories of both your Mom and Dad close to your heart. Your parents will always be with you if you do.
Cherish the time you had with each of them. My dad passed when I was only 7 years old. I have a few memories of him from my early childhood and will always keep them close.
Regarding your Dart, I'm sure your Dad will be proud of whichever way you decide to go.
Being that both of my folks are 92/93, that day is coming, 2 of them more than likely. Safe to say more is behind the cart than in front of the horse for both of them. Death is just part of life, we all have to get through it. My advice to you is follow your heart. Wouldn’t your dad be smiling down on you with your completed project? And wouldn’t you want your children to carry on with the hot rod culture after your time comes? Also anyone who shoes a competitive drag car is said to have a hot rod.
