    Motor is the stock 383.  It's a 4-spd car, but I decided to keep that on my garage floor and put in a Keisler 5-spd.  Not an asphalt terror, but should be a nice cruising car.

    Thanks for the comments.  By chance is anyone in the Carolinas or Georgia?  I'm a member of a mopar club in town but we are struggling with membership and activities.  It would be nice to meet with some local CC members.

    :drool: i know there are some members Georgia way, not sure bout the carolinas though. Sounds like a idea for the first annual Southeast Cuda-Challenger.com sponsored Show and Shine  :bigsmile:

    Lots of us in the Carolinas; I'm near Fayetteville, NC myself.

    Mine looks dull but runs pretty good. If we put them both through a transporter and integrate them into one car ...  :bigsmile:

    Ahh...but who would it belong to?

    pokey, the car looks great.  Don't worry - it'll run - eventually.  Mine's going to run before it ever looks that good.

    Since we have members in Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina; I think we should all meet in the middle, maybe Georgia.  Or at Alan's place.  :poopoke:   :bigsmile:


    By the way pokey, the car looks great.
