Vlado:

I've wondered about this....... I shot this one (not enlarged at all, its 100%) on Sunday and I was wondering if this was really you doing the flying? Looks more like a younger Robert Redford here.......

Also it doesn't look like you have a backseat installed or much of a backseat......

AArrrggghhh!! I'll keep my helmet on while on the ramp! Makes me look younger I guess!
The back seat is a fairly low version, covered with black vinyl-naugahyde. As best as I can tell, this was originally installed by Howard Olsen (Tx) in the 1960s, as part of a Cavalier "kit". The black vinyl makes it less noticeable.
Thx!!

Vlado,
Any Fuzzy Dice hanging in there to go with the 60s interior?
Maybe a bobbing head dog in the back of the canopy?
