Kudos to DK Custom for going above and beyond just being a sponsor of this forum. A great company.
Yep, he's 89. He's a WWI and Korean war vet, a retired towboat and steamboat Captain. This is him a couple years ago on his 1924 Ner-a-car before he got sick.

That is very cool. Nice servicar, and having the picture engraved on the plaque is really a cool touch.

I have done business with DK in the past and they are really great people.

He was a very happy 89 yo man. Thank you DK Customs for the trophy, plaque and gift certificate. You made an old man very happy.
This is so cool. Congratulations.
