The things we do…

For family.
In 1980 my step father dismantled and started restoration of this 55 Bel Air. That was many years, several moves, and a divorce ago.
My brother and I have great memories working on it with Larry when we were kids, and its been a mythical family icon if not heirloom for 41 years.
Its been in my brothers care for quite a while and he’s made sporadic progress in the last 10 years. Last week he called me and said “We’re gonna drive the 55 to the show on the 15th. Larry is coming”
After clarifying 15th of August? Thats crazy! I’m in!
I drove up from CA, and my bro is stuck at work on a tugboat in LA til Thurs.
This is where I’m at today. The show is in our hometown, and nearly the whole family is coming to see the car. Wish us luck!C4F107E5-BE87-4339-8FCC-75700003D735.jpegDE8F0BF9-1BF1-455B-8BDC-4F56BB1F7488.jpeg DE8F0BF9-1BF1-455B-8BDC-4F56BB1F7488.jpeg 80F8A888-25C6-4C86-9836-34551B5A855E.jpeg
