So Dave Tracy, local Jalopnik writer, is helping me bring Dad's car to life. He did a wonderful write up on the car and the experience thus far. It's available at the link below!

A Michigan Man is Fixing His Late Father's Highly-Modified Pontiac Fiero and I'm Going to Help Him

I'm learning so much about the build and the car, it's been great so far.

Hey Dan, I saw that earlier today. Thank you for coming here to PFF and posting about it.
I am very happy that you are going to bring the car back to the car your dad built.

While we are not as active I hope that you keep up with the car and let us know how its going with updates when you can.

Thanks again

That's pretty cool. Although I think it's kind of creepy that you're using your dad's username. I feel like I'm talking to a zombie.

I believe the user name is the name of the car not the user.

Think of it more like the mask of Zorro. It's a not so secret identity that has been passed down.

Although for the reason you state above I do make sure to try and sign my communications...
