My father passed away in 2010 after a brief battle with cancer and needless to say it's been the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. So here's my attempt to gain some closure by finishing up a 67 fastback that he and my uncle started back when I was in high school. The car was just a run of the mill 289 2bbl 3spb car with ac. Back in the early 90s as many of you know the reproduction market for these cars were nowhere close as to present day. With that said there were many things that they had to reuse that would be considered unimaginable today. After 6 years of work they had obtained all the components for the now straight fastback. With my uncles re enlistment in the military and lack of free time the car sat in pieces in the garage for another 10 years. There was always talks of getting back on it and finishing it up but illness leading up to his cancer diagnosis always got in the way and the car sat quietly in it cocoon in its quiet little coroner of the garage. After his passing the car was moved to my uncles place where he planed on finishing their project. With the completion of my brothers 64 falcon I was left with more time to devote to my fathers passion. After a few months in the garage with my uncle the decision was made that the cars would be given to me and I would complete it as my uncle while passionate about wanting to see it complete he wasn't driven as I was to work on it. So in November of 2013 the car came to my garage and the work began. And a year later I am happy to say that the car is once again back on four wheels and being prepped for paint. Over the last year I have replaced both rockers installed a complete full floor pan. New torque boxes, rear wheel houses and most of the left rear quarter panel.
