They must not know how HOT it gets here in Florida in the summer!! We have to work on our cars in the winter, when it`s cool, while everybody else is buried in snow!

Deer in the headlights kind of picture. Guessing late 70's, bought the car in 72 and it was my daily driver pretty much until retirement.




A lot has been changed including my hair color which now better matches the car color

Right

At the Orlando place I did 98% of the work after dark even late, neighbors loved it, I lived in the 'hood longer than anyone else over 45 years so they knew I wasn't a hooligan but I did scare off a few now and then....and yeah even at night sometimes so hot I would dip in the pool to cool off then back to work or even have the wife hit me with the hose, I do not do heat well.

When I wash my lady, I take the body off and put a shower cap on her. She deserves nothing less.

Good thread idea...

Agree with the observation that we are usually taking the picture instead of being in the picture...

Out of the 1,500 or so vette pics I have - I am in two.

I'll have to get a picture, but don't expect much, since we're both kind of beaters.
