"I finally, in early 2001 got the majority of the parts back together to send it to the body shop. Decided upon the 2001 C5 Magnetic Red paint for her. It was the closest I could get to candy apple red w/o dropping the dime for candy apple red. I brought the car home from the paint shop on 1/9/2002. My wife passed on 1/21/2002. At least she saw that I stuck to my part fo the deal for her.
My last thing to do when the car is finished is to have a pink ribbon muraled on the back of the car in memory of my first wife. If everyone in the world could have been blessed knowing her, there would be no turmoil in the world. She enjoyed life and gave it all to many.
I think of her daily.... "
Mike,
I know this is a car site, but this is one of the coolest posts that I have ever read. I am sorry for your loss, but it sounds like you are carrying her in your heart and remembering her and honoring her with the Vette. That is really cool.
I lost my dad when I was 9 years old. He was the one who got me into cars, I remember climbing under the car with him and spending a lot of time in the garage with him. I plan on having "this one's for you dad" put on my car, to honor my dad.
Thank you for your heart warming story. And definately the pics of your cars.
