Although I cannot answer all your questions this time, I do know if you want to have a great time in the beginning of July, you should try to make it out to Carlisle! As for coming from Detroit, I come all the way from Northeastern Wisconsin (Florence to be exact), travel down to the Chicago area, then take off towards Howell, MI to meet up with the fellow board members from the Lower Peninsula of MI. It's approximately a 12-14 hour drive from Chicago, so expect around 9-10 from the Detroit area. As for reproduction parts for these E-bodies, the parts currently being produced are limited and more often than not you end up resorting to original parts just from the lack of companies that reproduce them. However, I strongly feel that you'd be making a mistake to not restore your car because even with the reintroduction of the Challenger in the near future, these cars will always hold a higher value than most other muscle cars.
