Brian.. I am so sorry to hear of your loss.. Feel free to lean on any of us here during your time of grieving. I am fortunate to still have my Father around.. But he is aging and can't do the things he used to do so easily.. He started me on Cubs back in the early 70's with a 100, later bought me an Original of my own, and then a 1450 that I pretty much grew up on.. He taught me everything I know about mechanics and life in general.. I'm not quite sure I will be able to handle the day that something does happen..
Keep the dream of restoring the 1650 alive.. i'm sure your dad will look down from above and be really proud!
