Beautiful! Hope you don't need much to get her going.
It's nice to remember your Father in Law, but one caution before you paint anything in case you pass it on or sell it; While you and family will think painting his name on the fender is honorable and valuable to you, unless he was a celebrity and signed it himself, collectors will just consider it ruined paint. The story doesn't mean much outside your circle. No disrespect intended here, it's just the way the market works.
