    Congratulations on the new aquisition. I hope that your dad and you have a great time making it new again. They are a lot of fun once you get them all finsihed and they have a super following so parts are not hard to come by.



    Don't forget to post some pictures and the progress of your bonding experience.



    Best of luck with it.

    Well, if this is going to be a bonding experience along with the fun, then I would think that you need to tell him and get his opinion.



    I've seen many of both restored to factory new and hot rodded and like most of them when they are done tastefully.



    Whatever you do, do it for the two of you. Do it to please you not the guy across the street or anyone else. Have a lot of fun with doing it and afterwards have even more fun.



    One more thing. Keep us posted how you are doing with plenty of thoughts that you have and accomplishments. And don't forget the pictures.



    Good luck.
