Then?---Now? [pictures]

The other day, I was asked to provide some old and new pictures of myself.
It was for a "Then" and "Now" thing.
So I used the ones below (taken about 35 years apart)

I know there are some young folks on this site, but I'm pretty sure there are some old geezers (like me) too!
Anyone else have any "Then" and "Now" pictures? (of yourself or your car)

Our Kieft F3 car about 1962 (sideways in the garage without the body) and about 3 years ago. Sadly, no longer mine. Note the (stock) bungee cord rear suspension.
 
I'll be along directly... gonna dive into th' "archives".
 
Ok, heres some shots of me. The first was about 30 years ago while I as in Boot Camp. The second was from a family trip to Lost Wages.

The first one is a pretty scarry shot. I think Height ~5’11” then & now I think I had a 29” waist & weighed in at about 175lbs (Lean & Mean Green Machine /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif ). Today I have about a 32” waist and tip the scales between 160 & 165. Not as mean but still a little lean. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ha Ha....Ain't *that* the truth! Oh well...time marches on!

And it took me a minute to figure out what "Lost Wages" was? Here in the East we have "AC" (Atlantic City), which is much smaller.
As for being lean, I'm within 10 lbs of my high school weight, so not too bad.

Anyway, here's a "track-oriented" Then-and-Now for Watkins Glen. Lin took the first picture from a new MINI pace car at a 3-hour enduro that I ran in (I'm aaaall the way at the end). The second picture was taken at the fenceline of a 1971 Watkin Glen Can-Am race that I was at (I didn't take the picture).
