For the Love for my Father, My 69 GTX Restoration

[moparnation74]

“3 miles away” COULD take longer than you think!lol. Nat’s aren’t that far considering Texas distances, BUT the traffic on the bypass!!

I have already driven there and back......It took no time other than traffic lights.....What you think people don't scope things out first, geez...cold must be getting to you, lol

We have been here for just 4 days and have already driven probably 100 miles around town here including morning and evening rush hour....

The traffic here is nothing ...virtually nothing.....However, I came form DFW where it is a 100x worse but I should know, right? 270 is a piece of cake but the best thing is it is not part of my commute....lol.....Goes to show when you move you have to move smart.....

And on a plus side your very close to a dragstrip National trail raceway! Glad the trip went smooth. I thought I remembered you saying you were moving. I have friends in Boston, now I have a 1/2 way stop!

Justin,

I am glad you made it up there safely! Thanks for all the help and advice you gave me while you were down here along with showing me the GTX. I look forward to seeing you and the car November.

As I mentioned earlier in this thread. Future things were in the mix......Well, as you know the GTX is heading to MCACN in November. MCACN is short for Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals. It is an indoor show located at the convention center in Chicago. Bob Ashton runs the show and he is a die hard Mopar enthusiast.

The BIG news is the GTX has been selected to be an "Unveiled" car.....Only a few cars are selected for this category and the GTX qualified. The key part is this is the first time the X is presented to the public.....Hence, unveiled......So now you may understand why I haven't posted full pictures of the car.....

Special thanks to Mr. Ashton for selecting the GTX for this honor!

Transportation was booked today.....it's happening fellas.....I do hope to see some of you guys there.....For the folks unable to attend I will post updates during and after the show....

"for the love of my father"

Our cars are beautiful regardless of a slipper......

Denton would be a hike from Ohio.....so you may have to drink that other beer for me....
