I'm the guy on the right.

Rob, a little known fact.... Ford actually used a Rochester Quadrajet carburetor on 1970-71 429CJ's.:eek:

Scott,
Actually I knew that! They are great carbs! Great gas mileage and good performance. Very simple to work on!

What is the convertible powered by? Has stripes that make me think of an Eliminator?

How about a Hound and some cat pictures? Maxi the plott/walker hound is an old girl, Titus and Cosmo are brand new and a hoot.

That is my friend Zoli's car. 351C-4V and 4 speed.

Yes, popular to put the Eliminator stripes on convertible Cougars. A Cougar Eliminator convertible is a car that Mercury should have built. Much like a GT/CS convertible, should have been built by the factory.

What river? When? Is there beer near by?

Salmon River at Riggins, Id., Aug. 2009. There is beer in a 160 qt cooler right in front of me. Notice the smile? I was taking my chiropracters office staff down the river on a day trip, so I had a boat load of young ladies to keep me company that day.

Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa (RAGBRAI) 2008 which I did with my son Zach. Pictured here with my daughter Delaney.

Or...Picture with my brother and I in Colordo flyfishing.

Or...The day we loaded the GT/CS to come see Renee. That is me in the purple jacket, my brother Brian in the Blue, and my son Zach helping with the inspection of the car before it was loaded.

Here are a few from previous shows we attended this past year. As you see I like to carry my beer with me. The other photo is the day we had a very large teddy bear get loose at work.
