Just tell her the calender was adjusted to remedy the earthquake; her day was really skipped. It is worth a try! Now that she is 40, I hope she does not go looking for a young stud to drive her fast around town to make her forget she is getting older..... Thanks for all the advice, Alan! You sure have helped me on my car, and countless others here on the CF
Give the wife the flowers and candy for sharing you with the other in your life all this time. Give the car a fresh tank of fuel, and (weather permitting) a celebratory cruise. She'll appreciate the exercise, and you can reaffirm your commitment.
I would love to see more photos of your car. Back then or now.
I know your saving them for the big unveiling when it's completed though.
I guess we'll have to live with the teaser photos till then.
I sure wish I was the original owner of the 70, but I'd be older too!

Thanks for the reminder Alan, mines coming up on April 19th.

Happy 40th to a great looking '71 and one of the nicest members of the forum!
