I Was just surfing and found a video your dad posted on a Grill guard for a Kioti which was very well done. So I said lets check out what else he has been up and saw this. It was just a few days ago that the one year anniversary of my Dads passing from throat cancer happened. Im sorry for your Loss. You spoke about how you skill set is not up to your dads, Im sure sure no matter how good or bad it may be your father would be very proud to have you finish his truck to the best of your abilities. God Bless
I am so glad you are keeping the truck in the Family. I am building a 1954. I got so much help by trying to copy what he did on his. His work ,and skills, are not easy to match. Mine is not even a shadow of his.
I stumbled upon your fathers videos looking up how to weld and fabricate a frame for my model A hot rod. It’s awesome that your dad shared his talent and skills on RUclips with others. While your father is gone we will always have his videos to learn from and people will continue to come across them and learn from your dad. God bless you guys and may your father rest in paradise.
Just heard and I am so sorry for your loss. Huge follower and admirer of your Dad's craftsman skill. Very kind soul. Your Dad is watching and guiding you when you finish the truck. Part of your Dad's spirit is IN the truck and is part of him. God Bless you and your family.
So sorry for your guys's loss I was watching bits and tips about your dad's show and registered because I am I decided to purchase my grandfather's old 1947 Chevy pickup off of another gentleman to restore it in the family but thank you for sharing your dad with us give me a lot of knowledge on how to rebuild this truck and thank you again and sorry for your loss
Joe, Gary and Scottie, please keep your pledge to your Dad and mom on finishing the truck. He will be missed here in North Carolina. I have learned a lot from him and his genius ideas. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths. Prov. 3:5-6. This verse helped me when my dad passed away, I hope it will help you..
its nice to see family step in and continue the passion. I'm building a 1947 Chevy 3100 myself . i have 4 kids , 3 boys and a girl none of them work on cars so mine will be lost to a estate sale I'm sure. continue on and complete the truck for your dad, he would be proud . he did great work .
Strength and Honor. My father died of cancer almost 6 years ago. He asked me if I wanted to finish his 54 chevy truck. I said yes. He didn't give me any instructions just said. It's yours do what you want to do. I worked on it for a while then stopped. Now I have the motivation to get it back on the road. I just found your Dads channel and following some on his tips and tricks to get my Dads truck done and back on the road. I know what your going through to get it done. I have asked my Dad to help when needed. But sure wish he was here to help.
I am truly sorry for your loss. Watching your father at work taught me the benefits of seeking perfection in restoration and repairs, rather than accepting just good enough. he will be greatly missed.
The air just came out of my lungs...... I am so so very sorry for your loss. He was building a great truck and did a terrific job with his videos and tutorials. I have "borrowed" his idea on not only which fuel tank to use but how to mount it. It was pure genius way of doing it, and yet so simple. Steve and I did communicate a few times on IG and commented on our individual builds. The world lost a great one, I am again so very sorry for your loss. As a hot rod builder and fabricator but specialize more on the body/paint side of things I will say please ask for help or questions. I'm so happy to know this truck will be finished in his honor.
So sorry to hear he passed, he was a very skilled fabricator and I learned a lot from watching him. His way of presenting information and sharing tips reminded me of a soft-spoken, knowledgeable old time shop teacher, easy to understand and a great teacher. His knowledge and subtle humor will be missed by many.
Condolences to the Family. I watched your Dad's channel as a inspiration to keep moving forward on my own projects. He was a great fabricator and had an exquisite eye for detail. I will miss his purview, but wish you, his son's an enjoyable quest to complete his truck. Look forward to your progress.
I stumbled onto your dad’s channel while looking for examples of a fuel door that I can use on my ‘62 C10. Really sorry to hear about your dad, and his work I’ve seen on his videos was awesome. Best of luck on the ‘53!
This morning I was watching another of my favorite fabricators, Musclerod shop, He was doing a flush gas cap and it reminded me of the work Steve did on his gas filler. I miss my doses of Idaho Fabricator and the interaction I had with Steve. Hope you boys are doing ok. I lost my dad when he was 73 and I parked the 37 Chev PU that we were restoring. It sat for 24 before I decided to dig it out and get back to it. I shifted gears and went from a restoration to a Resto-Mod. Still brings tears to my eyes when I think of my dad, probably does you as well. They say time heals all wounds. Maybe, but the pain doesn't ever go completely away.
So Sorry to hear. Your dad was the inspiration for me and my sons to build a 50 Chevy 3100. We are a little behind where your truck is now. I learned so much from him and used many things he did on our build. I was hoping some day to share the pictures of or build with your dad. He will be missed and made a great contribution.
I just found your dads channel while looking for videos on fuel filler modifications, and subscribed. . . then I found out he passed away. My heart felt sympathies to you and your mother. More than your fathers fabrication skills and his ability to show the rest of us how to do the same things. . . I was struck by how much your mom and dad loved each other. After watching the fuel filler neck video, and listening to your mom and dad show such respect and affection for each other, and how he credited your mom for all the video efforts. . . hear about his passing away rocked my world. I pray God will strengthen all of you and especially your mom, as I am sure that she is missing her husband and her best friend more than we can imagine. Love to all of you. . .
Sorry for your loss. I am a big fan of your father always waiting for the next video. I am building a 49 Chevy 3100 and I ask your dad many questions and he was always quick to answer. He was always willing to help he will be dearly missed. Looking forward to see you guys continue his project.
Oh no! I had been casually watching your dad's channel because I am restoring/hot rodding the 51 GMC pickup that my great grandfather bought new. In honor of him I've named it Frank.. I got to wondering why there were no newer videos and noticed that I hadn't subscribed...so I did hoping to skip ahead and see if it was done yet or how close it was. I really have a great deal of respect for your dad seeing the way he went about things and his attention to detail. Although my build really has very few similarities, your dad's videos were helpful in inspiring me and as a reference for certain aspects of mechanical details. Just now hearing of your loss has me a little choked up because even though I've never met him I feel like I've lost a friend... I'm about the same age as your dad and share a love of metal fabrication and the tools involved with it. I wish to you and your brother the best of luck in finishing his truck and hope it is a blessing to you all in the process... a special time of brothers bonding and remembering all the good times with your father.. I would be honored to be brought along during the process via RUclips if you choose to film your experiences...but if you want to keep things private I totally understand... I have a lot of professional experience with body work and metal fabrication and would be more than happy to give any advice should you need it.. I am very sorry for your loss. Jeff
Sorry to hear the news about your Dad. Always a joy to watch and learn from him. Humble and knowledgeable. Glad to hear you will continue with the truck that gave him so much joy sharing his time with all of us.
I'm so, so sorry for you loss. I want you to know that I am an huge admirer of his quality and craftsmanship. I'm restoring a 1954 from the other side of the Atlantic and have poured over the videos he made many times in order to glean information and inspiration. My thoughts are with you and your mother.
Roughly a year and a half ago I stumbled across this guy on youtube who was rebuilding the same year Chevy truck as mine. The more I watched, the more I realized we had similar interests. He was an old guy like me, only 4 years my senior. He also appeared to be very, VERY good at what he was doing. I, unfortunately, don't have anywhere near the same skills as he had. But I watched every episode on his channel and couldn't wait for the next one to come out. I enjoyed the way he spoke, not coming across as a know-it-all whose way was the only way. Obviously, I'm talking about your dad, Steven. I have learned so much from his videos and intend to use as much of the information he provided as I can in working on my truck. I'm way behind where his truck is now, having just gotten down to an almost bare frame. I will undoubtedly be using the Idaho Fabricator as excellent reference material. This is difficult for me even though I never met your dad, never even communicated with him, which I regret. But I felt as if I had a kindred spirit in him. At least I am sure he is now with God and watching you boys with great pride as you take on the task of completing his truck. I will be avidly following the build as I continue to work on mine. God bless you boys and your Mom, Sally. Thank you Steven. I anxiously look forward to your next video. Don Scheer Athens, Illinois
I am so sorry for your families loss. I so enjoyed your fathers work and videos showing his skills and bring your Mom in. Like many of his followers I had great respect for his talents, enjoyed his humor and copied many of his tips and solutions to his project challenges. He will be missed by all of us in his/your extended family.
I'm so very sad to hear this news. Steve and I talked after his surgery. I am fortunate to have survived the same proceedure and radiation. R.I.P. my friend.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Your dads videos and attention to detail were inspirational to watch. I’ve spent many hours watching and rewatching as I’ve been working on my own 1951 Chevy Truck. Please continue his work and reach out to this community for any support.
Our sincere condolences to your family at the loss of your dad/husband. He was an absolutely awesome fabricator and teacher. I have learned much from him that I am using in my own shop and 55 F100 project. I wish you success as you finish his special project.
Sorry to hear about your father, I’ve only been watching for about a year, I found him when I was surfing RUclips for tips on my 51 Chevy 3100. I found him very interesting and relatable in whatever he was doing, I learned a lot, he will truly be missed! As a father of 2 sons myself nothing can make you more proud than to see your kids pick up your ability to create ,fabricate and problem solve projects in the shop, home or life’s curveballs, you have my deepest sympathy. God Bless
I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of Steve's passing. He was a consummate builder. I so admired his skillset. Your dad and I exchanged messages on Instagram. I'm building a 37 Chev PU with a GEN V engine and asked your dad lots of questions as this is my first build. Not sure of his age but think we were close. I'm 72. Please accept my condolences. I've been hoping for him to return to the build. Please let his loving and wonderful videographer know how much we will miss him.
Hi guys. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet your dad. I’m 74 years old and building a ‘52 Chevy PU. I’ve asked him for help a few times and he has always responded. He’s been a great help. I’m glad to hear that you guys are going to finish the truck. Gods speed. RIP Stephen. You will be missed.
I'm sorry you lost your dad to cancer before finished his truck. I'm 73 years old and am working on a 54 chevy 5 window pickup of my own. I've watched just about all of his videos, and he's helped me with my project.
I’m very sorry to hear about your father. I lost my dad to cancer as well. It sucks. I just recently came across his channel and have been learning some tricks from him. Very talented and a great person.
I am so sorry for your loss.Your dad helped me a lot on my 49 build and took time to answer me personally.I will miss him greatly also . He was an amazing fabricator. Deepest sympathy to all your family.
So very sorry to hear this news, I've watched your dad for a while now and admired his workmanship. I will miss seeing him working on this project. Good luck and God's speed.
So sorry for your loss. He was such a remarkable instructor and a outstanding individual. His work was amazing and his explanation was so down to earth that anyone could understand. I learned a lot by watching and listening to him. Though I never actually met him, his passing was like losing a good friend. He may be gone, but he shall live on both in fond memories and his videos which I have watched over and over and shall continue to do so. May you Rest in Peace my friend
I am a big fan of Stephen. I don’t even own a 50’s Chevy but he was a smart, meticulous and informative guy. I really liked the way he manufactured various parts. He was resourceful and intelligent. He will be missed dearly. I extend my condolences to you and your families. Additionally I enjoyed his interactions with your mom who was his film crew. Make sure you guys look out for her too. God bless.
Gentlemen thank you for taking the time for an update on your Dad. He was an inspiration to many on this channel. I always admired his workmanship, he was a true fabricator with solution to any problem. Your Dad will be missed by all. Our sincere condolences. We will be praying for your family. It’s time to pick up the torch and run the race of life as your father taught you. I’m sure he has left quite a legacy behind. God Bless you and your family.❤️
I've been watching your dad and he did very good work. I have a 53 3100 that my wife and I are building down in Payette I'd. I wanted to come up and meet your father some day. I glade you're carrying on with your dad's truck. If there is anything I could do to help you out let me know. Good luck and I'm very sorry to hear of your dad. Our prayers are with you and your mother. Norm Evans
Thank you for the update. I’m so sorry and sad to hear this news. I was your father’s nurse and gave him his chemo in the hospital. He will always hold a special place in my heart ♥️♥️
I am So Sorry for your Loss. Being a fellow Paratrooper myself and knowing your Dad served in the 101st Abn Div. He will be sadly missed by all. I learned so much from his video's. He is now watching over us. God bless you and Family. Airborne All the Way !!!
Very, very sorry to hear about your Dad. What a loss to all of us out here and to you fellas and the rest of his family. He was truly a man of great skills ! God bless !
So sorry to hear of your loss. I have maybe watched 6 or 8 of your Dad’s videos and thought the world of him and his skills. I looked forward to seeing his next video and am so sad that he’s gone. I hope you follow in his footsteps. Good luck fellows. John.
Sorry for your loss, Your dads channel inspired me to buy a 1952 GMC 100 and get it back on the road. As someone with zero vehicle knowledge, his thorough explanations will defiantly be missed. I
So sorry to hear of your loss. Your dad had a worldwide influence, even as far south as down here in New Zealand. His cando attitude will be missed but will stay on as an insiration in my 53 project. All the best to family and friends.
I'm so sorry Stephen passed away. I'd search his channel regularly just to see how he was doing. He's definitely an inspiration. Glad to hear his truck will be finished in his honor. Until then, we'll be waiting.
This channel was what was single-handedly getting me through my build. I am so sorry for your loss. I learned so much from your dad. I have all his videos saved and you guys should be very proud of how many people he touched. He will be GREATLY missed.
I have followed Steve and this channel for a long time. Loved watching his videos and seeing all the brilliant things that he achieved with the highest quality standards. I watched his videos over and over so i could apply the things i seen to my truck build. My sincerest condolences to your whole family at this trying time. Steve will be missed. Steve has a great following and an awesome family. Rest pain free and in piece Steve.
I'm not very good with words. But just wanted to say I am so sorry for your loss and saddened by his passing. As you and others have already said his skills were remarkable. He put so much thought and care into every aspect of the truck to make it just the way he wanted it. I wish you much luck on completing his truck and look forward to seeing it.
So sad to heard that , I was looking forth ward for his next video, he was an inspiration to build the things the right way, sorry for your lost this is sad truly.
I am so saddened to hear this news of your dad's passing....You have a major project ahead of you.. But a great foundation to work upon...I will continue to pray for you and your family... God Bless and take care...
Very sorry to hear about your dad. It's admirable that you're going to finish the truck for him.....best of luck to you and condolences to your family.
Oh my, so sorry to hear of your family loss. Your Dad was the best. I learned so much from his videos. I wish I hadn’t taken a break from YT for so long, but I felt like I needed to break the addiction.
My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family on your loss. Your Dad was an inspiration to me with his kind demeanor and easy going attitude. To this day when my project is going sideways and not coming out as planned, I flash back to how your Dad would use that as a learning tool to get it right. I hope you find comfort in knowing that your Dad was loved by many, and we share in your grief. Pleased to see you're going to carry on and complete the '53.
So sorry for your loss. This is a very difficult time for you and Your father was a very skilled man. I enjoyed watching and learning from him. I will continue to follow the channel and support however I can. Again sorry for your loss.
So very sorry to hear of your dads passing. It was a real pleasure watching him work and the way he explained what he was doing was remarkable. We might not have known him personally, we all feel like we lost a good friend who could never be replaced. May he Rest In Peace and reside forever in our fondest memories.
I really liked your dad's videos and commentary. Incredible skillset as you mentioned, big fan. My sincerest condolences to your family. May he rest in peace. No doubt he will be missed. Best of luck with the project and please do reach out. Be at peace.
My condolences to your mom and you boys. i became a subscriber to your dad's channel maybe 6 months ago. he seemed like a very nice, kind, generous man. as well as being a skilled fabricator. he will be missed my heart goes out to your entire family. you boys will do a great job finishing the truck. it will probably be hard and enjoyable at the same time. just to know your working on something he started will give you guy great sense of pride & closeness to your dad and will keep his memory alive!!!! REST IN PEACE STEVE
I enjoyed you dads videos so much. I am so sorry for you loss and for the loss of such a great man. He's fortunate even still to have left a legacy of those that have and still continue to love and remember him.
I started watching your dads channel a while back to get ideas and the courage to pick up where my dad left off on his 52' Chevy after he passed. I know the feeling, I also know that continuing the build in his name is the best thing I have ever started or done. You guys will make it happen. Its the Hot-rodder way.
So it’s been a while since I checked in but so very sad to hear of your Dads passing. He has helped myself and my sons on our 49 project so incredibly much. It’s inspiring to know you will be carrying on the finish of this project in his honor. Best wishes and RIP.
It is a sad day for me to hear that heart breaking news, how you grow to love someone you don't even know. I have come across many that I don't see any more and it makes me wonder. Just my comment, but it seems as if the good brothers or sisters leave us too soon. SORRY FOR OUR LOSS. May God continue to bless the family.
Here is my two cents worth If you guys have any questions when finishing dads truck ask Arco, he has a youtube channel and he know the answers. Outlaw Edge please hit him up he is a great person.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m working on a 54 that I’ve had for 20 years, with life, work, commitment’s, children and so on It had to wait I started on it when I retired. I stumbled on your dads channel one day and was a follower ever since. I have Used many of his ideas, I don’t mean to ramble on.. your dad came across as a very kind, gentle, humble man a simple man As they say. Seemed to really want to share and help anyone he could. So his family is in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I know it’s hard to see now but there will be better days to come. God bless and look forward to seeing his dream come to life..
We are so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family. I am glad to see that his sons will finish his project truck in honor of your dad. he was a special and gentle soul. RGB
I had not watch this feed for sometime and this video popped up. I was shocked and saddened to hear about you dad passing. I was inspired by him. May God provide healing for your family during this time of loss. He will be missed.
I'm so sorry. I found your Dad's channel as I started to build my 1948 Chevy truck, and I have stolen so many good ideas from him and his meticulous fabricating. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and as bittersweet as it is, I'm excited to see you two finish her.
I came across you dad’a videos a while back and he was an amazing man and a genius. If you finish the truck half as well as he could have done it, itwill still be still be perfect. I’m sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss……

I learned so much from him and used many things he did on our build. I was hoping some day to share the pictures of or build with your dad. He will be missed and made a great contribution.
I just found your dads channel while looking for videos on fuel filler modifications, and subscribed. . . then I found out he passed away. My heart felt sympathies to you and your mother.
More than your fathers fabrication skills and his ability to show the rest of us how to do the same things. . . I was struck by how much your mom and dad loved each other.

Sorry for your loss. I am a big fan of your father always waiting for the next video. I am building a 49 Chevy 3100 and I ask your dad many questions and he was always quick to answer. He was always willing to help he will be dearly missed. Looking forward to see you guys continue his project.
One of a kind..truly be missed. Sorry for your loss. He gave me so many ideas for my 52. Thanks for letting us know.
Sorry for y’all loss.
Oh no! I had been casually watching your dad's channel because I am restoring/hot rodding the 51 GMC pickup that my great grandfather bought new. In honor of him I've named it Frank..

I'm about the same age as your dad and share a love of metal fabrication and the tools involved with it. I wish to you and your brother the best of luck in finishing his truck and hope it is a blessing to you all in the process... a special time of brothers bonding and remembering all the good times with your father..

I'm so, so sorry for you loss. I want you to know that I am an huge admirer of his quality and craftsmanship.

I am so sorry for your families loss. I so enjoyed your fathers work and videos showing his skills and bring your Mom in. Like many of his followers I had great respect for his talents, enjoyed his humor and copied many of his tips and solutions to his project challenges. He will be missed by all of us in his/your extended family.
I am very sorry to hear about Steven's passing. I am building the same project and always looked forward to his videos. Great guy!
I'm so very sad to hear this news. Steve and I talked after his surgery. I am fortunate to have survived the same proceedure and radiation. R.I.P. my friend.
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. Your dads videos and attention to detail were inspirational to watch. I’ve spent many hours watching and rewatching as I’ve been working on my own 1951 Chevy Truck. Please continue his work and reach out to this community for any support.
Our sincere condolences to your family at the loss of your dad/husband. He was an absolutely awesome fabricator and teacher. I have learned much from him that I am using in my own shop and 55 F100 project. I wish you success as you finish his special project.
Sorry to hear about your father, I’ve only been watching for about a year, I found him when I was surfing RUclips for tips on my 51 Chevy 3100. I found him very interesting and relatable in whatever he was doing, I learned a lot, he will truly be missed! As a father of 2 sons myself nothing can make you more proud than to see your kids pick up your ability to create ,fabricate and problem solve projects in the shop, home or life’s curveballs, you have my deepest sympathy. God Bless
I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of Steve's passing. He was a consummate builder. I so admired his skillset. Your dad and I exchanged messages on Instagram. I'm building a 37 Chev PU with a GEN V engine and asked your dad lots of questions as this is my first build. Not sure of his age but think we were close. I'm 72. Please accept my condolences. I've been hoping for him to return to the build. Please let his loving and wonderful videographer know how much we will miss him.
Hi guys. I’m so sorry to hear about your loss. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet your dad. I’m 74 years old and building a ‘52 Chevy PU. I’ve asked him for help a few times and he has always responded. He’s been a great help. I’m glad to hear that you guys are going to finish the truck. Gods speed. RIP Stephen. You will be missed.
I'm sorry you lost your dad to cancer before finished his truck. I'm 73 years old and am working on a 54 chevy 5 window pickup of my own. I've watched just about all of his videos, and he's helped me with my project.
I’m very sorry to hear about your father. I lost my dad to cancer as well. It sucks. I just recently came across his channel and have been learning some tricks from him. Very talented and a great person.
I am so sorry for your loss.Your dad helped me a lot on my 49 build and took time to answer me personally.I will miss him greatly also . He was an amazing fabricator. Deepest sympathy to all your family.

I'm so bummed
Just found the channel and I am really impressed with his work and the way he was able to transfer his knowledge to the viewers.
I learned so much from your pops. I will make sure to pass it along. He will be missed.
So sorry for your loss. He was such a remarkable instructor and a outstanding individual. His work was amazing and his explanation was so down to earth that anyone could understand. I learned a lot by watching and listening to him. Though I never actually met him, his passing was like losing a good friend. He may be gone, but he shall live on both in fond memories and his videos which I have watched over and over and shall continue to do so. May you Rest in Peace my friend
I am a big fan of Stephen. I don’t even own a 50’s Chevy but he was a smart, meticulous and informative guy. I really liked the way he manufactured various parts. He was resourceful and intelligent. He will be missed dearly. I extend my condolences to you and your families. Additionally I enjoyed his interactions with your mom who was his film crew. Make sure you guys look out for her too. God bless.
My deepest sympathies on your loss!

I've been watching your dad and he did very good work. I have a 53 3100 that my wife and I are building down in Payette I'd. I wanted to come up and meet your father some day. I glade you're carrying on with your dad's truck. If there is anything I could do to help you out let me know. Good luck and I'm very sorry to hear of your dad. Our prayers are with you and your mother.

My deepest sympathies and condolences go out to you and your family on your loss. Your Dad was an inspiration to me with his kind demeanor and easy going attitude. To this day when my project is going sideways and not coming out as planned, I flash back to how your Dad would use that as a learning tool to get it right.

Your Dad was a true gentleman and fabricator
I wish I had met him.
I started watching your dads channel a while back to get ideas and the courage to pick up where my dad left off on his 52' Chevy after he passed. I know the feeling, I also know that continuing the build in his name is the best thing I have ever started or done. You guys will make it happen. Its the Hot-rodder way.
So it’s been a while since I checked in but so very sad to hear of your Dads passing. He has helped myself and my sons on our 49 project so incredibly much. It’s inspiring to know you will be carrying on the finish of this project in his honor. Best wishes and RIP.
I’m sorry for your loss!
It is a sad day for me to hear that heart breaking news, how you grow to love someone you don't even know. I have come across many that I don't see any more and it makes me wonder. Just my comment, but it seems as if the good brothers or sisters leave us too soon. SORRY FOR OUR LOSS. May God continue to bless the family.
Here is my two cents worth If you guys have any questions when finishing dads truck ask Arco, he has a youtube channel and he know the answers. Outlaw Edge please hit him up he is a great person.
I’m so sorry for your loss, I’m working on a 54 that I’ve had for 20 years, with life, work, commitment’s, children and so on
It had to wait I started on it when I retired. I stumbled on your dads channel one day and was a follower ever since. I have
Used many of his ideas, I don’t mean to ramble on.. your dad came across as a very kind, gentle, humble man a simple man
As they say. Seemed to really want to share and help anyone he could. So his family is in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I know it’s hard to see now but there will be better days to come. God bless and look forward to seeing his dream come to life..
We are so sorry for your loss and will be praying for your family. I am glad to see that his sons will finish his project truck in honor of your dad. he was a special and gentle soul. RGB

I'm so sorry. I found your Dad's channel as I started to build my 1948 Chevy truck, and I have stolen so many good ideas from him and his meticulous fabricating. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and as bittersweet as it is, I'm excited to see you two finish her.
