    "usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

    After 9 years and a frantic past month I took the 'Cuda to it's first car show yesterday at Utah Valley University. It was a fun day visiting with numerous people who stopped to admire the 'Cuda and compliment the restoration and paint.My best bud and I were cutting and buffing the paint until 9PM Friday night.  People loved the 'triple black" and marveled at how deep the paint job looked. It was also great fun meeting and visiting with several friends who were at the show.

    Took the 'Cuda to it's second car show today in Santiquin, Utah and won the "Sponsor's Favorite Car" award.  Received numerous compliments from the crowd on the restoration and paint.  One of everybody's favorite things about the car wasn't the Shaker hood, but was the AM 8-Track radio and the box of
    8-track tapes I had open on the passenger floorboard.  A lot of Dad's got a kick out of showing their kids what an 8-track tape was and what they used to listen to.
