    Zane,

    Sorry for the loss of your dad. It is soooo cool how you got the car back. That not only gives you a neat connection with your father, but also your grandparents too.

    I love to see another Comet out there, always!

    Great story! Hope you are able to hang onto it forever and make it into a family heirloom. Good luck with it.
