You’re a lucky guy to be able to experience that with your Dad man. Count your blessings every day.

You can see how happy he is. He cant sit still. just pacing trying to hold the excitement in. You made his whole life doing this for him. I know it made you happy seeing him happy.

This makes me tear up. I had a special connection through cars with my dad as well. We were always fbody fans, but had a ‘35 Pontiac in the barn that he got from his uncle for driving tractor when he was a kid. He always joked about having me fix it up for him, and secretly that was my plan, but the big C got him before I had the means to do so. So glad you are able to share this with your dad. Didn’t think that I’d be living vicariously through you when I started this video.

Nothing better than seeing the smile on your dad's face as he drove. My father & I were shopping for an old / antique vehicle the same day he passed almost a yr ago. Enjoy that time!!

That's awesome you were able to get back up and running. The look on your dad's face was pure happiness!

Matt this was great I lost my dad ten years ago and just seeing that smile one your dads face made me extra happy love that you have memory like this keep it up

I would have loved seeing your dad give you a hug while saying "I love you son" ... he is still mourning the loss of your brother (understandable) so love your dad with every fiber in your body while giving him the time to cope with that tragedy however long that takes. He loves you for sure but he just has a hard time to let go of his losing a child... God bless you and your family.

Wanna see a proud dad smile ear to ear for a whole video? I give you this video. Good job Matt!

Watching this brought tears to my eyes. Your dads smile and watching you both cruise the Camaro was a priceless moment. Please continue to bring these moments to us as it brought back so many memories. My dad and I restored cars together as a hobby. Sadly, I ended up painting the 66 Mustang after he passed. Just remember that these are the memories that will last a lifetime.

This is so awesome! Glad you could do this. I have the same story and wanted to do the same thing for my Dad, but couldn’t get it done in time. Drove Dad’s ‘68 RS Camaro in high school, pulled the engine and n 2000 @ 19yo to rebuild it and the car, but it still sits in the garage torn apart. Glad one of us made it happen. Well done Matt! This even brought a tear to my eye but a smile on my face.

This really makes my heart happy for you Matt and your dad. His smile was worth everything you done. I lost my dad in 1976 and I miss having him around and could go to him for everything. Now I'm 68 and thank God I have a relationship with God to get me through. Cherish every moment you have to be with your dad and mom.

way to go matt. so happy to see a father bring that much joy back to their father. yall seemed to really enjoy the time together also, and your dad is good on cam as well.

Very cool Matt. Glad you had the chance to share this with your dad. My dad and always wanted to do something like that but his time was cut too short.

Thanks matt I jus spent most of that in tears.. something I would have loved to have done for my dad who's no longer with us.. thank you ❤

Matt, for all that you do across your channels, I loved this the most. Definition of a good human being.

This may be my favorite video. The joy that it brought the two of you was so wholesome.

This is such an amazing and awe inspiring surprise for your pops man. Son of the year

Mate, that is a memory that will last forever for the both of you. As a kid living in Australia, I had 2 dream cars when I was young (give away my age a bit), a 57 2 door chev & a 68 Comaro. You sir, are living the dream. If you ever get a chance, look up an old Aussie movie called Running on Empty, I'm lead to believe it was released in the US under the name Fastlane fever, although I don't know if it was editied differently for the US audience. All the best from Down Under.

What an INCREDIBLE video 📹! The look on Dads face, his smile while driving, and your conversations will forever be remembered;)
