All sounds great, sure am looking forward to it. Thanks for all the info you've posted  :2thumbs:

Not just directed at you, but anyone going to a swap looking at cars to buy....

Don't forget to bring a digital camera. Take extensive pictures (few undercarriage w/flash, engine compartment w/flash, truck w/mat lifted, few interior pics) of all the remote possible project cars you would consider if you were ready to buy. Take pictures of the normal rust areas: behind the lower quarter, lower edges of f/r window glass, bottom of doors...  Also take a pic of the for sale sign with the phone number.

You might see something later after you blow up the pictures on your computer that you didn't notice when you saw it in person. You could even post the pictures of a for sale car on this website and ask opinions and observations.

You guys have got to let me know how the Buttonwillow run went, as soon as you can, I wasn't able to fly out this year due to some family stuff and I am itching to hear and see how it was.
I was really wanting to see the swap meet and show as well, love to see what cars were up for sale.
So if anyone is going with a camera feel free to snap lots of pics so myself and others stuck on this side of the continent can see what we missed.
Thanks.

I haven't read through all the posts, but is there a designated "meeting spot" for the Cuda-Challenger guys at the Fling? I'll be there bright and early on Saturday.  :cheers:

I'll wear my "Overhaulin'" shirt, should stick out decently  :bigsmile:

It sounds different for sure. It's the magnaflow mufflers and also the 525hp new Hemi that has a little different tune to it  :cheers:
