Nice story and a beautiful car. I don't say this to many guys, but I'd really like to see your back seat... (God, I feel dirty just typing that)...

The cancer ribbon lights up blue. It is pretty cool. Both sides by the rear window is a ribbon, one has my sons name and the other has my wife's name. The painter did an outstanding job on the paint. It is a mix of House of color pearl.

I am very happy with the response I have recieved from you all. It makes me pround to be in the service(Navy) and part of this site. Thanks to all of you for the support

So very sorry for your losses. Most would crumble under such hardship. But you have risen above, and have made a lasting tribute to them both. I'm sure they are both more than proud!

I like the ribbons! Interior looks great too. Have you thought about getting some TC/Sport/XR-7 seats for the front? They are alot more comfortable then the base seats. I wish the ones I have werent red or I would have swapped them.

Where did you find the covers?
