Look's like gramp's and Sara had a good time. I've got a younger brother with Down's and I take him for Dialysis Once a week, my other sibling's also do once a week (mon/wed/thurs) My mom tell's me he likes going with me the best, cause he likes my music and driving lol. He's seen my truck and can't wait till It's done and I can take him for treatment's. He's one of my biggest inspiration's, He's gone thru alot and still manages to lift us all that notch to keep us smiling. Good luck on your build and tell your dad to cut his toe nail's lol

The more you/he drives it, the stronger your arms get, the less you want power steering.

Outstanding!!
I can relate, the feeling is certainly great! I've got somewhere in the realm of 90 miles on my '56 now. Love driving it! Even took Jeff in it on a parts run for his truck and some grub.

You got good eyes to see dads toenails!! And having Down S in the family you learn to spot the little angels real quick. Sara is 22 and working 3 days a week @ a workshop doing piece work plus she works with her old county class with the "green project" planting native plants. Now I have to research power steering for dad.......just $$$$$$.

My bro's 47 yrs old, love him like there's no tomorrow, the innocense he posess's should rule the world, He's had open heart surgery at 20 yrs, lost a kidney and a half at 32, but still gets up every day with a smile, Winnipeg Jet's rule the world, and Hulk Hogan should retire Your daughter is truly an angel, and my brother Gary would truely give her an "ATTA GIRL" These are very gifted people that a lot of us can learn from, no hate , no malice , no discontent, just love everyone. Having people like Sara and Gary in our live's just lift us higher and appreciate the gift's they give us. I could go on forever but you know what I'm talking about. God Bless and have a good night. Give Sara a big Canadian hug from all our family. Sorry when your dad clips his toenail's, have him paint them Ford blue, and we want to see them.
