Happy Birthday to my father in law, born on Halloween..............

Happy birthday Bill!!!!!!!!! Here's what he looked like when I met him at 58 years old:

couple older ones..........

He still trains six days a week and looks great. He's also a car guy. Had 20-30 pre-1932 fully restored cars when I met him, not sure what he has now. I do remember him being glad there was another car guy in the family, but made me promise to not hot rod any of them if I ended up with them..............

Damn! He's in great shape! How old is he now? He must be puching 80?

yeah, he turned 80 today. Not as big as in those photos, but still in great shape.

He's also a very nice guy, very friendly. I will admit I was a bit intimidated when I first met him, but that quickly disappeared.

In addition to cars he also collects and restores old bikes, and I heard he has 500+ old wind up toys.........

Yes, my father in law (Bill Pearl) was Mr. Universe pro when Arnold was Mr. Universe amateur.

What's wrong with him? He has bumps and lumps all over his body

Happy birthday Mr Pearl. As soon as I saw him I recognized him. When I was a kid I used to see him in alot of body building mags. Thats cool! I alway thought he had an awesome build. I'd love to have an autographed picture of him for my garage . Sweet!
