My Visit To L.A. Miller Restorations
« on: December 16, 2008 - 05:42:54 PM »
On my way back from visiting my Dad I droped in on Tony (fishn4cuda) and his shop.  It was an awesome visit with my family and his!  He showed me around his shop and the projects he has lined up.  I got to see Topcat's realtives R/T....  Its looking good, the metal work is top notch, now its just waiting on qtrs.  He also was working on a bad ass 67 Firebird, hood tach 326sb car!  SWEET!  He also gave me a tour of the "Toy Box"!  Where I saw his curious yellow 70 cuda convert!  AWESOME car! 

Thanks Tony for taking time for a visit and showing me and my family around.  It was great to see you again bro.

That is so cool. I hope to meet him in person some day and you as well Don. The Cuda Guy project was a super thing and Tony was the biggest contributor. I hope he has reaped many rewards from the good deed.......well, maybe it might help his ribs heal faster anyway if nothing else   :bigsmile:   :poopoke:  :swaying:

Im very jealous of all the coming togeather and the companionship/commaradery that was acheived during the build!  I mean you guys built a cuda!  My Dad now has more experience working on cuda's then me, and he drives an AMX!  LOL!!!  I wish I could be an active member in something like this!  You guys all accomplished something awesome while coming togeather at the same time.  Very cool.  Thank you all.

Don from Pam's and my perspective it was easy....................It was a special project, accomplished by a special group of people, for one most very special young man. And your family as well, your dad and uncle were very instrumental to the success. Of course Tony and his men were helpfull too.  :roflsmiley:  I know Pam and I did a little but we received much in return, It indeed was a special time and event.   :cheers:   :wavingflag:
