Thanks Everyone, I will get him a membership. He wants to drive the Chevelle but he is a little large and can't maneuver into the car while it is on the trailer. He got a 5 ton winch, but hasn't had the time/money to get it installed yet. I might pay for that too. It's kind of strange catching your dad just staring through the side door of the trailer with a bit of a tear in his eye.
We live in Arizona. Tennessee is a bit of a drive, but it might be worth it. I might get him to enter into the Phoenix World of Wheels, the Super Chevy Shows around here, and maybe some shows in California. Since I saw how perfect his car is, I've been thinking harder about cleaning up my 70SS. I just bought some interior stuff as a Christmas present to me. I wish I could show you guys pictures of dad's car, but I don't know how to post web photos. Thanks for the info about the club and Merry Christmas!
