I didn't post earlier because I thought someone was implying you were 50 years old and we know better than that. Tell the family I said hi and past on the well wishes for many more years at BGR. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

So Bob is the kind of guy that would give ya the shirt off his back!! So here is to you,Bob!! May you have a lot more BGR anniversaries!! Ted Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!

We really enjoyed our visit and were really impressed by your shop and the many projects going on. I think we will try some evening during the week. That place was plan nuts with activity. On our way out your driveway Matt swears he saw some sheep driving tractors in the back lot but I think he had a few the night befor. 1970 Duster Edelbrock headed 408 5.984@112.52 422 Indy headed small block 5.982@112.56 mph 9.42@138.27 Livin and lovin life one day at a time

He is accurate in saying that you could listen to his stories for ages and never here the same one, there is always a new story every time I am around and I think Bob really enjoys to tell his stories.
