Happy birthday to your car Rick! Is it likely to see the road for its 50th year? You've got a build thread that needs updating!  |

That’s cool Rick. I’ve read in a topic a while back that you lost your love a bit for the 67 and that your wife talked you over to keep the car. How’s your current mindset about the car? Judging this topic it’s better I guess?
I hope you can finish it and drive it again like back in the day.

Still comes and goes I'm afraid. Just can't seem to get ahead financially to commit to finishing it. My wife just accepted a job offer with a 20% increase... so maybe. |

Well, since I don't know the official date, my car's 50th birthday is unofficially the 30th of September... meaning tomorrow. Good thing it's a race night! Naturally, there's going to be a party the next day for all the people who don't have the patience for bracket racing. Happy 50th to your car, Rick!

My car is what it is, maybe not Cal Look per the books, but it's more than most.
