    Thank you all!  The stories are numerous.  Need to get to know you all as well.  Will visit often.

    Have to say, "Nighty night" for now.

    Welcome to the site! :wave:  Your car looks awesome and that's cool you are running E-85 with impressive results.  I was told the efficiency level was significantly less than that of 87-octane or higher, but a 10% decrease isn't that bad at all. :2thumbs:  So do you ever make it down to any of the Chicagoland MoPar Connection shows?  I went to a couple several years back and must say they are definitely a fun time.  Elmhurst also puts on a nice car show as does Lombard.

    10-4, Good Buddy!  I quit smoking to save up for the set.  Hung it under the dash between the crotch cooler pulls.

    I've been more race oriented up until late season 06.  Ran out of justifiable disposable income and returned to the street once in a while.  Been hanging in the local area for the most part and Turning Back Time was the big event this year.

    Never been to CMC but have heard about it and would like to get there some time.  Work keeps me really busy but retirement is actually in sight!  Things will most definately change then, God Willing.

    Well worth the sacrifice.

     BoughtItNew,
                      Love your Cuda. I see you posted on my thread, and I have a question for you. hooD has been kind enough to help me with his original 73 rear bumper information. Could you tell me if the rear bumper on your 74 is the original? Thanks,  SGA

    That car is now responsible for my son getting the hot rod bug.  Pretty soon he'll be ripping apart his bike, then small engines, leading to hot rodding the garden tractor when I'm not around.  It also rekindled my interest in cars after a quick blast around the industrial park while behind the wheel, solo even.

    Here is one of my favorite shots:

    As it came from the factory.



    Have looked into losing the heavy bumperettes but they are integral to the rear pan.  The rubber blends into the pan lines so it would look worse w/o.
