It's a silly thought, but here goes..... Since he loves 125's so much, see if you could possibly find one that the two of you could restore together. Maybe one from the 90's, 80's..... tickle his ear to name a few of his fav's. Start looking for one of those models, if parts can be had. Maybe you could find a Craigslist diamond in the rough he could have built just the way he would want. Then, as time passes, you could surprise him with goodies for it as it's being built. Built a few things with my Dad over the years, it's the best!

That's cool! Ok, another silly thought. Maybe a small powder coating setup? Lots of little things on that very machine, and numerous other projects he could utilize it on. Just an idea.....

How about a Damascus steel Spyderco knife with a stainless handle. You could take it to get something engraved on the handle.

I’m also forwarding this list to my wife, just in case she needs ideas for Father’s Day 😂

I see he likes classic cars. I love getting 1/24 scale diecast of ok’d hot rods and vintage race cars. Franklin mint type. Carousel makes some increase vintage race cars. Do a search on EBay....thousands of them out there. It’s one of those things that you hate to spend the $$$ on yourself but if it’s a gift you don’t feel guilty. I bought my dad a diecast of a 1966 GTO that he had back n ‘66. Same color. It brought tears to his eyes when he opened it up

He’ll love anything moto. Googles and gloves are some of the things you can have duplicates of the same thing.

Oh man he has a 64 Chevy C10 pickup that we finished together. We custom painted it to say “Nero’s Cycle Shop” on the doors and did the paint so that it looks old and rusted (it’s not of course). I would pay really good money to have it replicated into a die cast.

Please post pictures of said car, sounds like my Dream car.
Your right, your Dad has everything. I am trying to think outside the box and coming up nada.

He really does have everything. It’s a struggle every year for his birthday and Christmas. I’ve been researching this die cast thing now and I found a few different companies I’m gonna look into a little more. For some reason I don’t have any pictures on my phone, but I’m gonna have to take some and send them to the companies for quotes so I’ll certainly add a few in a couple days.

Check out the "Metal Artwork" thread. There was a link to a guy in there that made some pretty cool stuff. I liked that steampunk metal moto related artwork he was doing. Maybe something for the shop walls or shelves??
