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. 
:iagree: Party at Alans place  :roflsmiley: but when, he is never home. you can only party when the parents arent home, not when the Alan isnt home  :roflsmiley: Can you imagine what the neighbors would think if we all rolled up in there?  :sly:

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.

Pokey427,

I live in Jacksonville, FL.  I know it's not SC or GA.  Any plans for this November?  Garlits is coming up during the first weekend in November and you car woud be at home in the field.

The Florida show sounds great, but it's doubtful I'll have the car finished by then.  Thanks for the invite.

Looking good!

Your pic helps me visualize how my challenger looked at the factory.  B5 with white bumble bee stripe.  Except mine had a painted white roof and blue interior.

Any chance we could see some more shots?
I'd love to see a shot from the rear and rear/side as well as a front/side.

Thanks

A whole lot of rust and very little time to work on it...

I'll try to get some more pics in a few day.  Here are some older ones after the paint booth.

: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:

There is alot of place that struggle, I am in Florida, there is a ton of Mopars in central Florida, no club, so I am trying to get one off the ground. Stick with it, tell everyone and in the end it will be well worth it. Now about the Southest deal, I am thinking that is a great idea.

Sorry did not mean to hijack the thread, i really wanted to just say, beautiful car and I sent you a email

Hope I'm not hijacking either, or at least for too long.

Generally, I'm not a club joiner. This is true of cars, photography, creative writing, almost everything I do. Reason why is that I find most clubs don't really don things, but instead sit around and talk about doing things. Being a doer, I avoid them.

I've mentioned this before, but I tried to join a MoPar group in Detroit, at the Woodward Dream Cruise. Guy I spoke with told me that I had to have another member sponsor me for membership. I kid you not. I told him that I was looking for a car club and not a country club and walked away.
