That's rough about your father, I'm sorry, Todd. Knowing that your car is going to a responsible owner who actually appreciates the vehicle, helps dramatically. I had a really hard time letting go of my SS 1LE, too. But the new owner and I keep in contact fairly frequently and he's in love with the car. So it helps bring me some comfort.
We've talked various times and I'm always willing to help you out with this platform. It's a different world on the Corvette side of the fence but, much if what we've learned from the Camaro world translates directly over to that side. Just be prepared for a lot of strong opinions, fierce loyalty and high prices for modifications.
Good luck either way and I'm here if you need me (or on the other platforms).
