I was eating my lunch and almost unloaded in my shorts when I clicked on that link - that's me in the 80's OP shirt leaning over my old 440-6 'cuda swinging wrenches. I have pics somewhere (on 35mm) of that day. That is actually the 2nd cover shot we did - inside the issue is the first one. The editors thought the night-time street scene didn't show well & called the 3 of us out to do one more cover shot. The day that was done, was overcast & cloudy - we sat around all day waiting for the skies to part to get that shot. Later, on the drive home, it started to rain & it was the first time the 'cuda had gotten wet since the restoration.
I have a whole box of that issue stored at home - the editor sent them to me after the issue hit the newstand.
