22 Years Ago Today
I bought my 150 Handyman 2-door Wagon off my long time friend Steve 22 years ago today. It was my B-day present to myself.
Stats:
late 1960s 350 small block V8 engine.
Q-jet carburator.
full length headers.
10.5 inch clutch.
1970s long tail Muncie 4-speed.
Hurst shifter.
stock 3:55 gear ratio out back.
Some time in the 1970s. (possibly 1974)
Around 1982 when Steve and Diane owned the Wagon.
Summer of 2009. (I cheated. I didn't use a photo from today)
Happy 22nd B-day buddy.

Thanks guys.
It was my 30th B-day and I wanted to do something out of the ordinary to celebrate. I knew my buddy Steve was looking to sell the Wagon as his step daughter needed braces for the needed cash. I made a cash offer and Steve handed me the keys.
I do have a photo of the Wagon taken on march 30th, 1988 but my scanner won't communicate with my computer so it can be scanned in.

Happy Birthday RJ!
Scanners are always a pain to install properly. Even the instructions that came with mine comments on how important it is to do the steps in the exact correct order or windows won't recognize it properly. Friends have had the same problem. I wish I could remember the order right now.
I will say that with Windows 7, it was a lot easier. My Canon scanner simply plug and play installed the first try. Windows 98 and XP were a pain in the *** to install the scanner. For me anyway.

my scanner worked before and now it doesn't? I'm clueless on that, but congrats on the 22 yr anniversary. 22 years ago I was 18, never thought I'd say 22 years was a long time ago but wow!!!
