Here's one more shot of Greg's car to add to the mix. I made him a poster of this when I was a young photo engraver, probably dust by now.
phil there's the same picture or may be yours on a wall at FAT perf  ,saw him last year during my bug in trip
but in bad shape


That's a slightly different angle, but very similar!
Yep, that's it!  Amazing, I printed that on Velox paper and never expected it to last thirty plus years. I'm just as amazed we lasted thirty plus years!
That's a sharp eye Neil...it appears that I enlarged and printed a different exposure than the survivor in my photo album. Umm, I'll blame it on the
motor drive.... Grin Grin

I thought it might be another picture you'd taken (so Fabs was right! Kiss), I couldn't imagine that two people would have been stood side by side and taken virtually the same photos, but very likely that you'd have wound the film on and clicked again! Smiley

I had never paid attention that the back aeration grills  were filled , it"s just a metal sheet welded or fiberglass parts put above the grills Huh
