@@StayTunedTA What a true hard working family. Love it. My dad (and mom) also busted their butts to raise 5 kids. So much respect for the Fathers and Mothers out there that do that.
That is a clean cut example of a “no fuckin around” dad being over the moon excited. You killed that. He loves it. Congrats to you bringing your dad that level of joy
@@StayTunedTAOh man, I'm named after my dad too! I'm the II though, not Jr. I was going to name my oldest son the III, but I was still a little salty with my dad at the time, so I named him after my mom and he has my pap's first name as his middle name, but it's also my dad's and my middle name, so it seemed fitting.
I couldn’t have said it better Tony. I told my Dad he was right about everything after my first was born. Miss my old man, enjoy yours while you can Tony.
I had the same realization as well. My father was very strict. Looking back it kept me out of situations where friends ended up in trouble. I was basically forced into college by my father. Hated all of it during the moment, but couldn’t be happy now that I’m in my late 20s
This is a good watch. I lost my dad in 2020 at the ripe old age of 57 and would give absolutely anything to have him back. We were best friends. Right now I'm restoring his dream car, a Leyland Moke (most of you will have to google that) which he bought in 1980. Some day soon I'm going to get it out of the garage again to tear up the roads and cause havoc just like he wanted. Anyone reading this, go call your dad if you can.
Just talked to mine Upstairs. It definately doesn't get easier as time goes on does it?.... but he's with you, looking over your shoulder in that garage as you work on that Moke. You're not alone brother! Keep the greasy side down and keep on keeping on.
Been there stopped torturing myself trying yrs ago Wrote me off the day I left home unannounced in the mid 80s just the it goes I guess. Will be strange when they are in the ground, no different than things are now If you got em youre fortunate (most the time lol)
Sorry for your loss. I can't imagine life without my Dad. We have never had a cross word to each other. I'm 46 and he is still my Hero and I wish I was half the man he was.
Ok Tony you melted my heart. I’m 59 and my son and I are best friends. Seeing your hard work blessing your Dad is priceless. You’re an amazing son and man! Hope we get to see the transformation of this car. Please include your Dad in the process. Love the channel!!
We of the same generation usually have the same impression of our fathers. A hard ass on us, minimal smiles, hard to read etc. We forget that they were raised by the toughest SOBs in a millennium. Men who were drafted into a WW and survived. Most came back and worked their asses off so our parents could have a better life and bled those values into our fathers and mothers. Love and greatness are not measured in smiles and rainbows. It's being present and there anytime any way mostly never the way we wanted when we were adolescent. Tony you nailed it! It's growing up and realizing what they really did for us to make things come full circle. 🍺 To all our dads and moms that gave a shit and rode our asses. I'm the man I am because of them.
Check your math, dude. Tony’s dad is much more likely to be a VN vet than a WWII vet. My own dad was a post-war Korea vet. He’d be 93 if he were alive today. Unfortunately, he died in 1991.
@@alantrimble2881Are you dumb? How can you give that kind of response if you actually read the comment you replied to 😂 He said Tony’s dad was raised by a WW2 Veteran, not that HE IS a WW2 Vet. People like you make the internet and social media that shit-show that it is..
Much RESPECT to YOU as a DAD ✌️. Now you are giving back to YOUR DAD.👌. I WAS a single DAD of my two, So I really appreciate what you are doing for your FATHER 🙏❤️. I MISS mine EVERY SINGLE DAY. ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH him as much as YOU CAN. Great son!!!!!!!👍👏👏
That was such a wonderful gift for your dad. It’s wonderful to do something nice for our dads . I miss mine. Great gift . Dads weren’t so easy on us. Back in the day. The worked hard to support us. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
For most of y’all I guess that is true. I wouldn’t know. My dad loved a liquor bottle and nothing else. He never wanted to see me unless I was doing free work for him or he was drunk needing someone to fight with. When I turned 16 I got big enough to put a stop to it. I use to be jealous of everyone else with good normal daddy’s. I finally got to the point it is what it is and I can’t change it. He drowned 30 years ago. He left carnage behind though between me and my 2 sisters.
@@Robrt32I’m so sorry you lived through that. Your dad sounds a lot like my late grandfather, who died before I was born. My own dad was a good man who provided for his family. His father (from what I’ve learned over the years) was basically an abusive alcoholic deadbeat. My father was lived by the motto “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” My dad rarely spoke of his father, so that should tell you everything you need to know. My dad died more than 30 years ago and I still miss him. I hope you’re well. Best wishes for you and your family.
I was tearing up at that first hug. I lost my dad to brain cancer in 2019, he was completely healthy and active leading up to it, had just turned 60. One of our main interests was always cars and motorcycles. Always discussing new stuff and old, he had a 69 Mach 1 when he was younger. I always thought one day we would have one to wrench on (even though I'm not really into fords we could make an exception). Unfortunately that wasn't meant to be but I will certainly enjoy following along on you and your fathers journey.
My dad passed away when I was 13. I found out years later that he had been a car guy when he was younger. He gave that up when us kids came along. I wish I'd been able to do this with my dad. So good to see you living this with your dad. Enjoy the build!!
Tony you are the man. You just made your dad the happiest man on the planet. This is why I watch your videos because you are selfless and just a real down to earth good good man
Brother I can't tell you how much this tugged at my heart strings. Me and my brother tried to do this for my dad with a 69 Camaro. After years of scouting the right car my brother found and bought one. A year later my dad was diagnosed with dementia. He passed before the car was finished and a year after that my brother passed. The car came to me and after a bit more work I presented it to his son. He still has it. That was almost 20 years ago. Thank you again, I have to make a phone call to my nephew. Much love my friend...🤓
Tony, no kidding, this is your best show ever! You dad is like mine and kind of keeps his emotions close, but we can tell your dad was stoked beyond words. You’re a good man Tony. Happy for your dad
I am 68 and I grew up in the muscle car era. My first car was a 68 AMX, 390 4-speed. Your father looked just as happy as I did when I bought my car in 1972. God bless you guys
Peter you have about 9 years on me and I didn't get my 69 390 4 speed AMX until 1986 but my best friend got his 68 390 automatic in 1983 and still has it.
Just wonderful. Mr.Angelo says so much with so few words....Dad speak to those who've heard it.... Much love to Tony, Stone, Barb and the whole crew... Keep doing good things for great reasons!
I am a Dad to a 25 year old daughter. Dads are never perfect but trying to give your kids all the advantages you didn't have is a daily life time of work. Like you said just feeding and sending your kids to school is hard work and a lot of sacrifice. My daughter has her Masters from Tulane and just got engaged and I am very proud of her. I sacrificed a lot sending her to private schools but it was worth all the effort and sacrifice. Thanks for bringing me to tears.
A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to buy my Grandpa a car to replace his old one. It wasn't a 68 Camaro but it was everything he wanted. He was more appreciative and thankful than you can imagine. It was by far the best purchase I've ever made. This brought back all those feelings. Thanks Tony.
I love how he was checking straightness. Typical dad move to avoid the emotions. 😊 You’re a good man, Tony. I love how happy he is. I also love that he watches every show!
You’re a good man Tony,bringing some family vibes to the show and adding even more heart to it,like letting the kids have back their cars for what you paid for them after the work you and the boys do. That stuff will go down in history,more than a car show I think.
Thanks for the tears of joy Tony. I lost my dad when I was 18. He has a very nice 69 Camaro that was supposed to be my first car but he had sold it months before passing to help pay for things. I've tried hunting it down forever, this gives me a little hope.
39:58. Father and Son, looking at his car... Instantly took me back to October 26, 1985. That's the day Dad bought me my dream car, a 1970 Mustang Convertible. I still have it. I drove it behind the hearse to his funeral in 2002. I lost Mom three weeks ago. Drove her 2004 Mustang 40th Anniversary Mustang behind her hearse. Darnit, Got sumthin in my peepers... What a privilege to give your Dad his dream car. Thanks for bringing us along. Can't wait to see this build... and the closure of the circle.
I love how many times "you're crazy" came out of Papa Angelo, and then immediately from Momma Angelo too. What a cool thing to be able to do for your dad! It killed me when he said he'd put the dream down a long time ago.
Watching your dad's reaction was awesome! You can tell that he is tough as nails. His soft spot barely came through, but it came through. Everything he's done in life was for his family. Thank you for doing this for him.
This is the best series of shows you could make. I know him, he's my whole male family. Can't show emotion, you just read the in between. He was on the verge of tears and thankful. God job.
What a great video, well done Tony!! So many great Father & Son stories in the comments as well. Also, Stone is such a great addition to the Stay Tuned team!
Just the intro brought a tear to my eye. Grew up with a tough but good father also. I miss him so much. He has been gone for 9 years now. His birthday was last month. I would give anything to chat planes with him again. He was a retired Marine and Skunk Works. Built the prototype F22 and F35 and even worked on SR71 and B2 when he was at Northrup for a few years. Or to hear him tell me about the 63 Fairlane with Big Block just one more time. Enjoy every minute you can with him.
Well done, Tony. There's still time for Dad to enjoy this machine. My father restored his biplane and got it into the air only once before his time ran out. As they say, timing is everything.
My dad had a ‘68 with the ss and hide a way lights. He sold it when I was 12 to support the family. It was my dream to get him one back. Never was able to afford one, and he past away 2 years ago. THIS REALLY hit home to me! So glad you were able to make his dream come true! Looking forward to seeing the build!
Dad needs to be a regular on the show! Spend as much time with him as you can. I'd give anything to have one more garage adventure with mine. Miss ya dad!
Your dad and you are too tough! I cried and neither one of you did! I am 56 and my dad is not here anymore but I can imagine what it means to both of you! ❤
Awesome thing to do for an awesome dad. My dad kept buggin' me to score the Nova in his neighbor's garage, so I could have something cool again. My two brothers and I bought that Nova and gifted it to pop for father's day. He restored it to better-than-new condition over two or three years after retirement. You aright, Tony.
Tony, you are the best son ever! My favorite part was when your old man kneeled down and looked down the fender…you could see the sparkle in his eye! I’m so happy he doesn’t have to give up on his dream…god bless the both of you!
Your father is a lucky man to have such a honorable son. I am glad you were able to do that for him. You can see how he is overwhelmed just looking it over. Great Video Tony!
Dude I am all choked up.... Papa Angelo has some characteristics of my dad. I wish I could have been in a place in life to do something like this for my dad. He did so much for me, thank you's and such are never enough... Tony soo awesome you took your life experience in the auto world and put the happiness in your pops heart. Just hearing him say "My dream car... thank you... and one of the rich kids got one and lusted over one and now I have one."
“Yes I do!” Love it. It’s great hearing the stories folks tell about their parents being strict because after those stories you most often see exactly what happened here. Genuine father/son affection. Kids never fully appreciate what their parents went through bringing up well mannered, well rounded kids until they themselves have kids. After that there’s always the efforts to recognize that fact with gratitude. For dad the best gesture is always that favorite car, no doubt. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Love and Respect Tony. I bought my Dad a Harley-Davidson after I landed my dream job with the Motor Company. Shipped it from San Diego to New York and surprised him. It was nothing compared to what he did for me and my four brothers. He sold it to help one of my brothers and seven years later the same bike got traded in to the dealership I worked at. I made that bike perfect and once again shipped him his dream bike. I will never forget riding along side of him and the pleasure he took from that machine. I miss him every day . I can't wait to see you ride in the passenger seat with you Dad driving his Camaro.
This turned out to be my favorite episode so far! Glad to see papa Tony so happy. I am about his age and can feel his joy with him, both for the dream car itself and for sonny Tony doing this for him. Don't lose the shop! Diggin this show every Sat morning...
Man. He said he had given up on this dream and you literally just made it happen. You’re a good man Tony, and your dad is an absolute legend. I can’t wait to see this thing built and him rip the first burnout. Great start to my weekend. Thanks!
My favorite episode yet Tony! Giving your Dad a freakin 68 Camaro Ragtop! Dude you just earned the 2024 Son Award! I can't wait to watch this build with your Dad.
I love this! I have tried to get my dad's Dream '66-67 Malibu for years, and just never found one I could afford. But! Now his dreams have changed and we are building him a diesel 2500 2004 Denali XL!! We have all 3 parts trucks we need!
That’s so awesome Tony ! I gave my father a car back in the 80s but if he was a live today he would of love the 55 Chevy I’m building in a tribute to him and his 55 Chevy gasser / show car from the 60-70s ! God bless you for doing that for you Dad 😃🤙🤙🤙
I love this so much! My dad was a "tough" dad when I was growing up working constantly as a panel beater and bringing me up on his own. We have never been very emotional towards each other but I have always respected him and everything that he has done for me. I think that's often the father / son relationship. I've been thinking of doing something similar for him but with a motorbike when I can afford it, maybe a Honda 400 Four, that was a bike he had in his youth and still talks about now.
Just the coolest,thoughtful,unselfish, generous gift that you could have given to your father. This hit at the heart strings. It’s how gear heads show their love for each other. This show rocks and you rock brother.!!! REALLY,REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILD.!
Tony Jr... You are an exceptional man. All of your hot rod friends speak so highly of you. For what it's worth, I am Thankful to you for letting all of us in..
Right on Tony and Papa Angelo!! Quite touching for all of us "hard asses" out here! Without a doubt, the best video yet!! There's nothing like family!! Especially one that will have the patriarch rocking a '68 Ragtop Camaro!! Looking forward for the build!! PS... I owned a blue '68 Camaro convertible during the 1970's. This episode has brought back so many memories including missing my own blue collar Dad! Enjoy the memories! -Perry Castellano
Good on you guys for doing that for Papa Angelo. I know how it feels, I recently finished building my dad the big block 65 impala he has wanted back, since before I was born. Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs but as kids we do our best to try to repay them. Looking forward to the project, take care guys.
Excellent job! H e didn't just love that car, he lusted after it. He didn't take his hand off of it pretty much as soon as he found out it was his. Awesome. Good work.
I’m finally getting to finish this episode and I got the big boy tears when he turned to hug you. That’s a sweet moment but I also miss my dad a lot. I’m really happy you got this moment.
So awesome, wished I could've found my dads old Gto for him before he passed. He sold it when I was a kid it was his all time favorite car. Great video as always
It warms my heart that people have dads thst they want to do this for. Really wish my dad was worth 1/64ths of your efforts. Thankfully, mom's a true car person.
Amazing episode!! I miss my dad so much, he passed away when I was 17 in 1999. He had many Camaros as I was growing up and that's why i've owned a few and currently have a 2016 2SS Camaro. Hes the reason why I love Camaros, I want to get a second gen Camaro (70-77) I like the metal bumper models more and I want to get it in memory of him. The last Camaros he had were an orange 1975 type LT and a 78 before he passed. It's really nice seeing episodes like this when it includes a dad and the car is given to him as a gift. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and the smile on your dad's face. it's great you still have him around to spend time with and work on the car together.
Oh my god I’m actually crying. That was great. Double whammy from Tony great gesture for your Dad and also revealing that you once owned my favourite car, BMW E21. Tony you are my hero.
That's a very cool and loving thing you did for your Dad man. You could tell he was holding back on expressing how he feels about the Camaro. Looking forward to watching the build. Respect.
I lost my dad at 9 months old, so I have no idea what it's like having a dad! This is what I dream about by having aa dad. Believe me when I say "Cherish your dad"! You did a great thing to show your love for your dad.
That is the coolest thing ever. I lost my dad 2 years ago. Never got to do something like this. Im so happy for you and your dad to get to do this. God bless you brother
That's awesome man. I wish I could have done the same thing for my dad. He had to sell his 74 340 six pack Challenger when I was 5 in 1980. He always talked about that car. When Dodge started making them again, it rekindled that flame in him again. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. You're a great son. God bless you, and I wish you great success with your show.
Can't wait to see a video series about this bad boy, whichever way this turns out. You rule, Tony (and Barb, Stone and the other dudes I'm forgetting)!
I always wanted to do that for my dad I was a teenager in the 80s I had some cool cars then I opened a race engine shop and started asking dad what would be his favorite car to have and he wanted a 60 Chevy so we started looking then we lost dad to a heart attack but I loved seeing what ya did for ur dad choked me up
Very cool! Please make sure you get on this car and get it done. Don't let it get put on the back burner while you work on other stuff. Make this a priority so your dad can enjoy it while he still can.
That is awesome 👍!!! Great stuff! What a heartwarming episode and so glad you fulfilled your Dad's dream! So cool. Thanks for sharing these memories with us.
I hope this videos helps get alot of sponsors on board for the build looking for to a good cause. He sounds like a very deserving man who made sacrifices for his family.
Tony, you are a great man for this. Way too often in life our dreams go by the wayside because, you know, life. Your dad said he had given up on that dream and watching his and your moms reaction literally brought a tear to my eye. You my friend made a dream come true and that’s a special thing. Well done. Can’t wait to see how the build turns out and see the old man lay his first big patch of rubber with it. And man, Stone, you are a bad ass mofo bro. A killer addition to this team. You watching you shine up those bumpers and bring the life back into the interior and the top was awesome. Great work ethic and great skill set man. And all that on top of a killer beard. Glad you’re part of the team and keep it up.

Congratulations dad you have a blessed son an family good luck on your build
You are blessed to be able to help you dad like that. And, you're a great son for never letting go of helping your dad with his dream.
Good parents = good kids! Nicely done Tony!
A couple years ago I was fortunate enough to buy my Grandpa a car to replace his old one. It wasn't a 68 Camaro but it was everything he wanted. He was more appreciative and thankful than you can imagine. It was by far the best purchase I've ever made. This brought back all those feelings. Thanks Tony.
I love how he was checking straightness. Typical dad move to avoid the emotions. 😊 You’re a good man, Tony. I love how happy he is.
I also love that he watches every show!
That was my read too. Trying to hold it together. On the very edge.
You’re a good man Tony,bringing some family vibes to the show and adding even more heart to it,like letting the kids have back their cars for what you paid for them after the work you and the boys do. That stuff will go down in history,more than a car show I think.
Thanks for the tears of joy Tony. I lost my dad when I was 18. He has a very nice 69 Camaro that was supposed to be my first car but he had sold it months before passing to help pay for things. I've tried hunting it down forever, this gives me a little hope.
Man, I am sorry that you lost your Dad, I hope you find that Camaro!
Good luck on the hunt bro!
39:58. Father and Son, looking at his car... Instantly took me back to October 26, 1985. That's the day Dad bought me my dream car, a 1970 Mustang Convertible. I still have it. I drove it behind the hearse to his funeral in 2002. I lost Mom three weeks ago. Drove her 2004 Mustang 40th Anniversary Mustang behind her hearse. Darnit, Got sumthin in my peepers... What a privilege to give your Dad his dream car. Thanks for bringing us along. Can't wait to see this build... and the closure of the circle.
Has to be such an Amazing feeling to give your Dad his dream car. Well done and my old man was tough too. We need more Dads like that
Yeah, I was pretty excited for sure and it was a long time coming.
That intro punched me in the feels super hard.
Being a dad, and an amazing son is blinding.
Mad respect Tony.
This is the best video you've ever made.
I love how many times "you're crazy" came out of Papa Angelo, and then immediately from Momma Angelo too. What a cool thing to be able to do for your dad! It killed me when he said he'd put the dream down a long time ago.
My dad’s version of this was “are you kidding me?” whenever we did something for him that he thought was too nice or too expensive.
@@biznatcho7The very best fathers have that best sense of pride that they are always the providers and never the other way around. I respect that.
Watching your dad's reaction was awesome! You can tell that he is tough as nails. His soft spot barely came through, but it came through. Everything he's done in life was for his family. Thank you for doing this for him.
This is the best series of shows you could make. I know him, he's my whole male family. Can't show emotion, you just read the in between. He was on the verge of tears and thankful. God job.
What a great video, well done Tony!!
So many great Father & Son stories in the comments as well.
Also, Stone is such a great addition to the Stay Tuned team!
Just the intro brought a tear to my eye. Grew up with a tough but good father also. I miss him so much. He has been gone for 9 years now. His birthday was last month. I would give anything to chat planes with him again. He was a retired Marine and Skunk Works. Built the prototype F22 and F35 and even worked on SR71 and B2 when he was at Northrup for a few years.
Or to hear him tell me about the 63 Fairlane with Big Block just one more time.
Enjoy every minute you can with him.
SR71....incredible!!!! much respect and engineering related envy to your dad. Hope he found solace where ever he may be now.
Well done, Tony. There's still time for Dad to enjoy this machine. My father restored his biplane and got it into the air only once before his time ran out. As they say, timing is everything.
Who remembers the auto trader ?
I still have the ad from 1986 for my first car.
Footprint gas pedal, daaaang!
couldn't afford the cars as a kid but the ol' Auto Trader was right in my budget.
Autotrader? We had the Swap Sheet way before that....😊
My dad had a ‘68 with the ss and hide a way lights. He sold it when I was 12 to support the family. It was my dream to get him one back. Never was able to afford one, and he past away 2 years ago. THIS REALLY hit home to me! So glad you were able to make his dream come true! Looking forward to seeing the build!
Tony, what a big heart you have!! Build this Camaro and enjoy it with your Dad.
That's the plan, thanks!
Dad needs to be a regular on the show! Spend as much time with him as you can. I'd give anything to have one more garage adventure with mine. Miss ya dad!
Your dad and you are too tough! I cried and neither one of you did! I am 56 and my dad is not here anymore but I can imagine what it means to both of you! ❤
Every dad should be so fortunate! Well done, Tony.
Came for the heart warming father and son car moment. Stayed for the thread tapping ASMR
Awesome thing to do for an awesome dad. My dad kept buggin' me to score the Nova in his neighbor's garage, so I could have something cool again. My two brothers and I bought that Nova
and gifted it to pop for father's day.
He restored it to better-than-new condition over two or three years after retirement. You aright, Tony.
Tony, you are the best son ever! My favorite part was when your old man kneeled down and looked down the fender…you could see the sparkle in his eye! I’m so happy he doesn’t have to give up on his dream…god bless the both of you!
I wanna see Tony and VGG Derek paint it.
That body shops probably gonna take 2 years!
Your father is a lucky man to have such a honorable son. I am glad you were able to do that for him. You can see how he is overwhelmed just looking it over. Great Video Tony!
Dude I am all choked up.... Papa Angelo has some characteristics of my dad. I wish I could have been in a place in life to do something like this for my dad. He did so much for me, thank you's and such are never enough... Tony soo awesome you took your life experience in the auto world and put the happiness in your pops heart. Just hearing him say "My dream car... thank you... and one of the rich kids got one and lusted over one and now I have one."
I can't believe how awesome this turned out!
We aren't even done yet!
@@StayTunedTA 🤣 these bots
“Yes I do!” Love it. It’s great hearing the stories folks tell about their parents being strict because after those stories you most often see exactly what happened here. Genuine father/son affection. Kids never fully appreciate what their parents went through bringing up well mannered, well rounded kids until they themselves have kids. After that there’s always the efforts to recognize that fact with gratitude. For dad the best gesture is always that favorite car, no doubt. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Love and Respect Tony. I bought my Dad a Harley-Davidson after I landed my dream job with the Motor Company. Shipped it from San Diego to New York and surprised him. It was nothing compared to what he did for me and my four brothers. He sold it to help one of my brothers and seven years later the same bike got traded in to the dealership I worked at. I made that bike perfect and once again shipped him his dream bike. I will never forget riding along side of him and the pleasure he took from that machine. I miss him every day . I can't wait to see you ride in the passenger seat with you Dad driving his Camaro.
This turned out to be my favorite episode so far! Glad to see papa Tony so happy. I am about his age and can feel his joy with him, both for the dream car itself and for sonny Tony doing this for him. Don't lose the shop! Diggin this show every Sat morning...
Man. He said he had given up on this dream and you literally just made it happen. You’re a good man Tony, and your dad is an absolute legend. I can’t wait to see this thing built and him rip the first burnout. Great start to my weekend. Thanks!
Thanks a ton! Yeah, he got me in the feels with that line.
eFukt LOL!
@@JohnDoe-en9ch ahhh yes, a fellow man of culture. 🤣
My elders are all gone, only big sister and me are still kicking and this video made tears on my eyes 😢 You're in good ways and it makes me so happy 🙏
My favorite episode yet Tony! Giving your Dad a freakin 68 Camaro Ragtop! Dude you just earned the 2024 Son Award! I can't wait to watch this build with your Dad.
Thanks! Stoked to be able to find a good one for him!
I love this! I have tried to get my dad's Dream '66-67 Malibu for years, and just never found one I could afford. But! Now his dreams have changed and we are building him a diesel 2500 2004 Denali XL!! We have all 3 parts trucks we need!
America loves dads. We are proud of your son Tony. Eventhough we didnt help, we will watch n support. Thanks for making Tony. Good Job.
That’s so awesome Tony ! I gave my father a car back in the 80s but if he was a live today he would of love the 55 Chevy I’m building in a tribute to him and his 55 Chevy gasser / show car from the 60-70s ! God bless you for doing that for you Dad 😃🤙🤙🤙
I love this so much! My dad was a "tough" dad when I was growing up working constantly as a panel beater and bringing me up on his own. We have never been very emotional towards each other but I have always respected him and everything that he has done for me. I think that's often the father / son relationship. I've been thinking of doing something similar for him but with a motorbike when I can afford it, maybe a Honda 400 Four, that was a bike he had in his youth and still talks about now.
Just the coolest,thoughtful,unselfish, generous gift that you could have given to your father. This hit at the heart strings. It’s how gear heads show their love for each other. This show rocks and you rock brother.!!!
REALLY,REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILD.!
Tony Jr... You are an exceptional man. All of your hot rod friends speak so highly of you. For what it's worth, I am Thankful to you for letting all of us in..
Happy for the both of you. I have to admit I got a little choked up when your dad realize it was really for him.
You’re a good boy Tony.
Right on Tony and Papa Angelo!! Quite touching for all of us "hard asses" out here! Without a doubt, the best video yet!! There's nothing like family!! Especially one that will have the patriarch rocking a '68 Ragtop Camaro!! Looking forward for the build!! PS... I owned a blue '68 Camaro convertible during the 1970's. This episode has brought back so many memories including missing my own blue collar Dad! Enjoy the memories! -Perry Castellano
Wow, just wow. Your Dad's reaction made me cry. You are such a good person Tony!
Good on you guys for doing that for Papa Angelo. I know how it feels, I recently finished building my dad the big block 65 impala he has wanted back, since before I was born. Being a parent is one of the hardest jobs but as kids we do our best to try to repay them. Looking forward to the project, take care guys.
Another prime example of the Best Damn Car Show on the Internet!
Cheers! Thanks bud!
You’re a good son Tony. Your Dad looks great for 70 years old. Cherish all of the time that you and your girls can spend with your parents.
Excellent job! H e didn't just love that car, he lusted after it. He didn't take his hand off of it pretty much as soon as he found out it was his. Awesome. Good work.
I’m finally getting to finish this episode and I got the big boy tears when he turned to hug you. That’s a sweet moment but I also miss my dad a lot. I’m really happy you got this moment.
So awesome, wished I could've found my dads old Gto for him before he passed. He sold it when I was a kid it was his all time favorite car. Great video as always
Sounds like he was a great Dad. Thanks for watching.
Stone is awesome. Don't fire him!
Stones hilarious, in his own special way. 🤣
Agreed.
Oh, I'm special, alright 😂
It warms my heart that people have dads thst they want to do this for. Really wish my dad was worth 1/64ths of your efforts. Thankfully, mom's a true car person.
Well done! Great time being part of this thanks Tony, and an LS as well, done right! This project is going to be a joy to watch.
Amazing episode!! I miss my dad so much, he passed away when I was 17 in 1999. He had many Camaros as I was growing up and that's why i've owned a few and currently have a 2016 2SS Camaro. Hes the reason why I love Camaros, I want to get a second gen Camaro (70-77) I like the metal bumper models more and I want to get it in memory of him. The last Camaros he had were an orange 1975 type LT and a 78 before he passed. It's really nice seeing episodes like this when it includes a dad and the car is given to him as a gift. I look forward to seeing the rest of this series and the smile on your dad's face. it's great you still have him around to spend time with and work on the car together.
Stone after dark, lol
Haha!
He needs to jump on that channel name ASAP!
Stone after dark is like adult swim 😆
Nice Tony! You and Stone work well together....your Dad will be so pleased.
Oh my god I’m actually crying. That was great. Double whammy from Tony great gesture for your Dad and also revealing that you once owned my favourite car, BMW E21. Tony you are my hero.
That's a very cool and loving thing you did for your Dad man. You could tell he was holding back on expressing how he feels about the Camaro. Looking forward to watching the build. Respect.
I lost my dad at 9 months old, so I have no idea what it's like having a dad! This is what I dream about by having aa dad. Believe me when I say "Cherish your dad"! You did a great thing to show your love for your dad.
That is the coolest thing ever. I lost my dad 2 years ago. Never got to do something like this. Im so happy for you and your dad to get to do this. God bless you brother
Your parents are awesome! I love the fact that your Dad told your Mom to get her hair ready for a drive, it was very sweet.
Tony, you have done what every son wants to do for their father. Totally awesome!!!!
Man Tony ....you're dad was overjoyed . I can't wait to see the build !
That's awesome man. I wish I could have done the same thing for my dad. He had to sell his 74 340 six pack Challenger when I was 5 in 1980. He always talked about that car. When Dodge started making them again, it rekindled that flame in him again. Sadly he passed away a few years ago. You're a great son. God bless you, and I wish you great success with your show.
Can't wait to see a video series about this bad boy, whichever way this turns out. You rule, Tony (and Barb, Stone and the other dudes I'm forgetting)!
Dang Tony, you hit that one outta the park! What an amazing gift, and I know it felt good to see him so excited about it!
I always wanted to do that for my dad I was a teenager in the 80s I had some cool cars then I opened a race engine shop and started asking dad what would be his favorite car to have and he wanted a 60 Chevy so we started looking then we lost dad to a heart attack but I loved seeing what ya did for ur dad choked me up
Nothing better than making the old man's dream come true. Good son, Tony
Great video...hat's off to you
Very cool! Please make sure you get on this car and get it done. Don't let it get put on the back burner while you work on other stuff. Make this a priority so your dad can enjoy it while he still can.
When you were reflecting on your dad, I started to reflect on mine. Thanks for that moment! Appreciate you from all the way down in NZ!
That is awesome 👍!!!
Great stuff! What a heartwarming episode and so glad you fulfilled your Dad's dream! So cool. Thanks for sharing these memories with us.
Tony... your dad is a legit dude. Happy for both of you that you're doing this. Very much looking forward to the build!
I hope this videos helps get alot of sponsors on board for the build looking for to a good cause. He sounds like a very deserving man who made sacrifices for his family.
Tony, you are a great man for this. Way too often in life our dreams go by the wayside because, you know, life. Your dad said he had given up on that dream and watching his and your moms reaction literally brought a tear to my eye. You my friend made a dream come true and that’s a special thing. Well done. Can’t wait to see how the build turns out and see the old man lay his first big patch of rubber with it.
And man, Stone, you are a bad ass mofo bro. A killer addition to this team. You watching you shine up those bumpers and bring the life back into the interior and the top was awesome. Great work ethic and great skill set man. And all that on top of a killer beard. Glad you’re part of the team and keep it up.
Thanks dude! I hope to keep the projects moving and the people laughing!
