That smile on your Dads face says it all. I would give anything to see that kind of smile on my Dads face. Cherish the time you have left with him Matt.
I would give anything and everything to get to hang out with my dad like that for just one more afternoon. Totally agree. Don't waste a single day you can have together and share those kinds of smiles.
I remember my good friend in high school picking me one morning in a 68 Z28 I’ll never forget the feeling when we pulled into the parking lot at school
You dad mouthing your outro behind you was absolutely hilarious, you can tell how much he loves you and is proud of everything you have done in your life.
I didn’t have a father at all, but this video made me feel like I have one. At least for the time I was watching it. This is one of the greatest restoration series in history. To my opinion, these few videos are in my top 10, among those I’ve ever seen. Maybe, on the first place.
I lost my grandfather two years ago and we would always talk about my old c10 . He was the only Chevy guy in the family other than me. Embrace the time you have matt
The muscle rod guys really are something special. Gotta give them a shoutout for making something like this happen in such a short amount of time. Those guys are genuine and definitely love what they do, otherwise special moments like this would not materialize.
Well you did it, I cried... So happy for you and your Dad. Cherish these moments. My Dad passed away 4 years ago. We did a lot together and we built a lot of cool cars. Have fun!
No joke Matt your dad seriously has to be the proudest dad there is. His kids have so much success and the amazing things you do for him and your friends and family. I enjoy your channels because you get to do everything I've always dreamed of doing.
@@BIGGER_REDi notice a handful with demolitia shirts just because i watch so much of matt's content. Rhett from "Matts offroad recovery" is the most recent
Go for a rides with him as often as you can Matt. I know life happens but before it’s too late enjoy the car with him. I lost my dad 4 years ago. I now have his 70 chevelle 454 and would do anything to go for a ride with him one last time. Also nice job the car looks great
I love your Dad. He did a fine job raising you and your siblings. Matt, you have a fantastic family. It seems rare to see this in day and age, but you are doing it right.
This makes me tear up. I had a special connection through cars with my dad as well. We were always fbody fans, but had a ‘35 Pontiac in the barn that he got from his uncle for driving tractor when he was a kid. He always joked about having me fix it up for him, and secretly that was my plan, but the big C got him before I had the means to do so. So glad you are able to share this with your dad. Didn’t think that I’d be living vicariously through you when I started this video.
You can see how happy he is. He cant sit still. just pacing trying to hold the excitement in. You made his whole life doing this for him. I know it made you happy seeing him happy.
Matt, this is what it's all about. I grew up a Camaro guy. My dad and his dad built several. I've had quite a few myself. Cherish this time with your pops. These memories will last with you forever.
Apparently his dad is a Vette guy and that rubbed off on his sons and they all drove Corvettes too. Thus was just a sentimental thing because it was Matt's first car he drove to school
Nothing better than seeing the smile on your dad's face as he drove. My father & I were shopping for an old / antique vehicle the same day he passed almost a yr ago. Enjoy that time!!
way to go matt. so happy to see a father bring that much joy back to their father. yall seemed to really enjoy the time together also, and your dad is good on cam as well.
Having lost my dad 15 years ago and always wanting to do a project car with him this video series brought me such joy and seeing your dad’s complete look of bliss driving it was the icing on the cake. So awesome 👍
Watching this brought tears to my eyes. Your dads smile and watching you both cruise the Camaro was a priceless moment. Please continue to bring these moments to us as it brought back so many memories. My dad and I restored cars together as a hobby. Sadly, I ended up painting the 66 Mustang after he passed. Just remember that these are the memories that will last a lifetime.
Matt this was great I lost my dad ten years ago and just seeing that smile one your dads face made me extra happy love that you have memory like this keep it up
you made me cry and made me remember my dad ,thank you dad i miss you i know you see me there in heaven and you know i have a son now , ilove you , i know we will see its other soon love you dad
Very cool Matt. Glad you had the chance to share this with your dad. My dad and always wanted to do something like that but his time was cut too short.
That was totally amazing Matt. I wished I could do that for my dad. Unfortunately I lost my dad the same month 10 days after you lost your brother Mark may God rest his soul and I love the fact Dr. Lee, a.k.a. the best parent in the world that I know of mocked you’re saying and I’ll see you next time may God be with your family the same as our family. Thank you for your videos they help me relax after work.
I would have loved seeing your dad give you a hug while saying "I love you son" ... he is still mourning the loss of your brother (understandable) so love your dad with every fiber in your body while giving him the time to cope with that tragedy however long that takes. He loves you for sure but he just has a hard time to let go of his losing a child... God bless you and your family.
This really makes my heart happy for you Matt and your dad. His smile was worth everything you done. I lost my dad in 1976 and I miss having him around and could go to him for everything. Now I'm 68 and thank God I have a relationship with God to get me through. Cherish every moment you have to be with your dad and mom.
Seeing how happy your dad is brings tears to my eyes. I wish just once I could see a look like that from my dad again. I’m glad you were able to create this special memory with him
Success on multiple levels Matt! you made your fathers heart swell, and you got Brandon to do a project in one month. the first was easy... the second highly improbable
I love this. What you did for him is so awesome. About 8 years ago, I built my dad a 1969 Ford Fairlane 500 Fastback. He had a '69 Torino GT Fastback back when we were kids and sold it to buy a family car. He hadn't stopped talking about it for 35 years. It took me 13 months to complete it. While it wasn't quite the same as the Torino GT, it was the same body and he loves it. I did the same thing, made it a driver and showed up to his house randomly and handed him the keys.
Dr. Lee is the sweetest. I saw him in H‑E‑B a few weeks ago and fan-girled a little bit. He used to be our vet until he retired. Moments like this keep me coming back to your channel, Matt. Love it!
The smile on your dad's face is priceless, make as many memories as possible with him. Lost mine 17 days before my 20th birthday. Have as much fun as you can.
That make me so happy my dad just past last yr and he had one and then got a vette but unfortunately we had to sale it and it kills me ever day glad ur dad still around and you got to share this with him
That has now become my most favorite video all-time on any channel. That is so special that you did this for your Dad, and are now carrying on the memories of that car. I wish I could do something like this for my Dad. Good job Matt!
This is so awesome! Glad you could do this. I have the same story and wanted to do the same thing for my Dad, but couldn’t get it done in time. Drove Dad’s ‘68 RS Camaro in high school, pulled the engine and n 2000 @ 19yo to rebuild it and the car, but it still sits in the garage torn apart. Glad one of us made it happen. Well done Matt! This even brought a tear to my eye but a smile on my face.
Mate, that is a memory that will last forever for the both of you. As a kid living in Australia, I had 2 dream cars when I was young (give away my age a bit), a 57 2 door chev & a 68 Comaro. You sir, are living the dream. If you ever get a chance, look up an old Aussie movie called Running on Empty, I'm lead to believe it was released in the US under the name Fastlane fever, although I don't know if it was editied differently for the US audience. All the best from Down Under.
Beautiful! My dad bought a nearly identical Camero when I was 6 for....$500! He painted it cherry red and had black interior. This brought back so many memories! Thank you!
Matt literally said multiple times throughout the series that he was giving it to his dad. Of course Matt said if my dad doesn't wanna take it, I will.
