Important Message from Eric Reply #17 – April 01, 2008, 02:21:16 PM Quote from: baxo;211963I knew it was a joke, right after I read "Important Message".. he NEVER has anything important to say that was priceless. I near fell out of the chair laughing...:hick:I knew it was a joke when he said this is the last year for CJ.... this is a beast that has outgrown even Eric... I think even with or without him, that is one show that will go on no matter what.... Might not be as nice or as big of a deal, but still Quote Selected
Important Message from Eric Reply #18 – April 01, 2008, 02:22:34 PM I fell for it - my first instinct was to see if he was one of the people that gave me a hard time about my Chebby 350 in the T-Bucket :D Quote Selected
Important Message from Eric Reply #19 – April 01, 2008, 02:31:53 PM I can see why you'd think I'm not serious and that's probably my fault. The timing of this announcement could have been, shall we say, a little better.Truth is, my dad isn't doing so well right now, health-wise. He wants to give the car to me and start helping me on it while he can. He feels sort of like a spare tire right now. While he's still mobile we're going to try to get as much done as possible. I hate to think of his deterioration while we're restoring this car, because that's probably all I'll remember later on, but he feels it's his legacy and I can't argue with that.Anyway...that's all personal stuff that I'll deal with. I'm not looking for support, just letting you all know what's going on. Quote Selected

Important Message from Eric Reply #22 – April 01, 2008, 03:29:02 PM Give me the 86. The engine in it would look sweet in my 93. Then I'll grab my father's 60 Vette, and we can go to Corvettes at Carlisle. Quote Selected
Important Message from Eric Reply #24 – April 01, 2008, 03:36:03 PM I don't think eric's joking about his father, he wouldn't joke about something like that.. the rest is questionable.. but his father thing, that has got to be sincere.Sorry to hear about the old guy he's a great dude.

Important Message from Eric Reply #25 – April 01, 2008, 03:56:48 PM Yeah I'm with ya baxo. Same here E-man sorry to hear that. I *think* most people here know I inherited my Cougar from my dad, so I for one will vote go ahead and do whatEVER will make the stong bond between you and he that surely is already there, even stronger. I've definitely learned that "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone". And I spent LOTS of time with him and he tried to be with our family as much as possible and to have us do everything together, but I can't help sometimes feeling like I would do it even MORE if I could go back in time. If you are both indeed gonna work on that vette then it sounds like it should be a great time! Quote Selected
Important Message from Eric Reply #26 – April 01, 2008, 04:47:40 PM Well hell, if you're serious then Eric, may I suggest LS1 in the Vette I don't think you are though (serious about giving up Cougar's, I'm sure you probably are helping out on the Vette). Quote Selected
