Thanks for the photos! :cheers:


Oh and who ever that was on the PC in the 2nd photo, quit your smoking!! It's bad for you! :nono: ;D





Me, I'm the smoker :banghead: :pullinghair:, Been smoking for 40 yrs. I am trying to quit. I did last yr for 6 months.  It is hard, I am old and stubborn.  I started getting frustrated at things and argumentive with my wife for no reason at all.  I don't like argueing with anyone. Especially my wife. We have yet to have a bad episode in our marriage to this day. When I saw I was a weeeee bit over the edge with her, and she was taking it all in, I went and got a cigarette and smoked it after being off for so long. Not a good excuse, but I am not argueing anymore either. Counseling would of been a better choice forsure. I am the only smoker out of everyone around me. My family worries too. It is not healthy. I went through 400 bucks worth of cigs this month having to buy them in Northern Michigan and New York. 50/65 bucks a carton, two cartons a week.  Glan I don't drink too, it would be murder on my wallet.


Drew,  I brought your 4spd stuff home. It is in the rental car outside. I got 33 mpg in that car with the 4spd n parts in back plus 75 mph with the air on.

Clinton, I opened the package you sent me this morning. Yes I am pleased having an original 1970 tag.

Im looking to do the 4sp swap too!!!  Please complie a list of lessons learned and parts you had to buy and a rough cost!  Im looking at finding a 75 OD A833.  Can you use the Auto counsel or do you need to buy a new one for the swap?  And yes the Mag 500 look sweet bro!

Don, you can use your auto counsel, but you will need to trim the bottom on the drivers side to clear the  4 sp boot.  :2thumbs:

I hear ya Alan,I am also a smoker.I have tried a couple of times,I hate just snapping at people and found it easier to go have a smoke.I will however try once again this week to quit.
By the way I am so jealous of you guys being able to hang out together with your rides,someday I hope.
And the pics are great and the cars look awsome,I do miss my Challengers after seeing those.

I was hoping you could use it on your car, but I am not sure about Alabama tag laws.  Either way , I am glad you liked it.   :2thumbs:

All good Alan, as long as there are more mopars than there were at the drags.  :smilielol: we did have a blast hearing the Chebies go by and watching a few go boom. and ahh, the way the one mopar sounded was great.  :bigsmile:
