Thanks guys! After being cooped up in the hospital amost daily for six weeks I needed to get out and do something. The plan was to take the Challenger to the 4th Street Cruise on the 25th but it rained all morning. The last time the car was at the cruise was back in the mid 90's. I remember riding along with my dad and hearing some kid yell, "Hey dad look, it's a RUSTY Challenger."
My uncle just bought a 74 Dart Sport in March. It looks alot like the one he bought new. I wanted to get a closer look at it so I took a drive to my hometown. The rain stopped in the afternoon which gave us a chance to take the Dart for a drive.

As we were driving around, my uncle pointed out the house where my parents lived right after getting married in 1975. That was the same house where this picture was taken.
The garage is still there and I mensioned that I wanted to recreate the picture sometime. My uncle looked at me and said, "I'm not taking my shirt off!"
Even though the Challenger stayed in the garage I had a good day riding around in another old Dodge. Hopefully there will be a few nice days left before I have to head back to the hospital. When I have more pictures to share I'll post them.
