You have a really nice piece of real steel there, It’s a shame your father in- law didn’t get to see it finished but you and your wife can finish his dream. Maybe you could put in honor of your Father in-law with his name someplace on the car. Most guys only dream of a real steel car like that. If money was available the car should be finished the best you can make it, that is a very valuable car not only for it’s sentimental reason but to pass down to your kids if you have or plan to have kids.
