ADDENDUM

Two years from the date Angela started the "epic" thread (September 19, 2007), Jerry's Monte Carlo returned to the dealership where Jerry bought it new for a car show (September 19, 2009) ... and won BEST 1980s car! Angela thought Jerry was "going to hop in the air and click his heels together" [a Ron Santo impersonation, perhaps?] when he got up to get his award!

Really wanted to thank everyone on this site and other sites who've looked in on this site to see Dad's SS get built, then delivered. We may have made a beautiful car for him, but you guys have given him something less tangible, but perhaps even more amazing. You kindness, your enthusiasm, your good humor have helped renew his joy in life...
