I never knew true happiness until I got married.
Of course by then it was too late.

She gave me some of the best years of my life...77, 78 and part of 79.

I got married in 77. Seems like yesterday and you know how bad a day I had yesterday.

Thats all I got.

WELL- got my new book published this month by Authorhouse. It it on the 289 HiPo engine rebuild-40 years later. I wrote it as a shop manual for Shelby Mustang folks and Cobra folks. I plan on doing another book as a manual on installing old HEMIs in early B-Body cars !
Watch for it on AMAZON and Google next month (Feb. 2011) as a downloadable book you can buy or print it out yourself !    

Been busy with my Icelandic "love in my life"
