Or get ready to mount your snow tires and tread salt.   Bet it's gonna be cold. 

Now where's that challenger 6pk 4 wheel drive at when you need it?


So what is your winter project?   Cause it is coming soon. Leaves are starting to fall now

It's going to be in the 80's this week in Alberta.  We've got nothing to complain about (yet).

Now the Cuda is gone I'm building a '68 Valiant from Arizona.  I'm thinking 470 low deck stroker, 727, Dana 60, Forest Green w/dog dish hub caps, Hemi Dart like interior.  Anybody need a nice '69 340 4 speed package complete? I got the body into high build this weekend and it'll be cut in this week.  Next is installing/shortening the Dana 60 and reinstalling the k member.  It's going to be a busy winter!

Keep us updated on your progress on these projects. I know I am interested in seeing how they turn out.

As far as projects go, I have a 53 Chevy 5 window pickup that is getting a lot of attention, engine, trans install, wiring, suspension, brakes, who knows what else yet.

I am thinking about building a new engine for my 72 Challenger

And as for the 70 Challenger I would like to get all of the metal work done.

Tall order and we'll see how much I will actually get done.
