Overview
Some of you may remember, back in December my best friend of 20 years died.

Well, I am still very good friends with his brother, and his wife (of coarse). We reached an agreement so I can bring his car back home with me to "freshen it up". Fix any mechanical issues, get the paint fixed, and anything else it needs to be a reliable driver for his 15 year old son.
This will be an emotional build for me to be sure. I'm not going to do anything crazy like motor transplants or turbos. I want it to be exactly as Patrick drove it when he was 16. This is actually the car that I learned how to drive a manual transmission, back when we would go to Missouri for the summers.
This is just a placeholder, until I get my hands on the car in a few weeks. Picture is not his car, but was very similar. Dark red/maroon color V6 manual Camaro. Nothing super special about it other than sentimental value. He bought it new when he was 16.
More to come, stay tuned...
