Thanks for the compliments and birthday wishes! I WISH I was 41 though! 62 got here faster than I could have ever imagined! On the plus side I'm closer to retirement!

In the picture there are 6 people in the background. to the very left it appears a younger guy putting some moves on his girlfriend? Another older couple seemly moving away from one another, and the last pair are enjoying a hotdog? (because a N/A small-tired 8-second back-halfed car was pretty boring back in 2004?)

Nosir...that's Bob's old car...think it was a 1967. He sold it not to many years ago while it was taking shape into a 25.2? chassis. Think it was in Black primer last I saw. I'm thinking that pic i posted was from around 2006 however.

Yes its around 05-06 time frame. I put a 6.50 cert. chassis in it. Sold to a guy in Maryland and have not seen or heard of it since. I'm working on a 63 Dodge 440 with a 401 Gen III Hemi and a F3d106 gear driven ProCharger on leaf springs (leaf link) and radials. Slow process as I'm still doing local guys engines and other repairs plus a full time job.
