A lot of pictures, mostly B-bodies, from 2023 Mopar Cars In Da Bay, Bay St Louis MS, Cruisin the Coast!

I'll let the pix tell the story. What a GREAT turnout and AWESOME cars (plus one "RACE TRUCK!")

More! Like the RB convertibles, I usually take a 2nd pic of any manual transmission car where you may expect an automatic. I'm all about Rowin' Your Own Gears, with the "infinitely variable" stall speed...lol.

The B5 Blue Dart GT 383 factory 4 speed car is always perfect. What a RIDE!

The last 3 pix of the truck are special. I have always loudly, kiddingly referred to it as the RACE TRUCK because of the appearance and the big fatties on the rear axle, but a 360 under the hood...
Well, now it's got a SUPERCHARGED Gen 3 Hemi, so NOW it really IS a Race Truck...

I spent a summer in Bay St Louis, many many years ago. Good memories.

I had a great time, especially considering a con rod installed a window in my block Monday night, for those who don't already know.
Absolutely NO warning. Oil pressure has been fine, no knocks or rattles, zero steel or iron on the oil pan plug a week ago when I changed the oil and filter.
Heck, I had even fixed the lower bolt (stud) next to the firewall on the valve cover so it wouldn't seep any oil, more to keep it clean as the leak was not bad at all.
CLANK! was my only "goodbye".
Fortunately the Bill Mitchell RB aluminum RB block based 572 components are almost complete. Basically the long block is paid for and at my builder's.
I can't tell if that's the big end of a connecting rod or a piece of main cap bulkhead, or WTF big "chunk of iron"
