Re: reconnecting with my dad, figure classic muscle would help need help starting

If you can, find out what kind of older or classic cars your dad likes. Usually most guys have particular areas of interest, such as muscle cars, european sports cars, luxury cars, pre-WWII cars, etc.

Try not to get a total wreck, which needs everything. It is much easier for a novice to maintain interest on a project by getting a car that needs only a modest amount of work, even if it costs more to buy.

Good advice given from all, but are you sure your Dad will want to do something like you propose?
I would reconnect first and then find out his interests.

Just my thoughts.
