First not sure if you have shirt with the "Hemi-Itis" on it. But you need to hit up http://www.customink.com/ and get one made. Then make the saved design available to others. Cause that is just badass!!!!!

My wife and I are going to the Mega Mopar Action show @ Gateway Motorsports Park the week of 5/17. I have a ton of airline miles so we are flying there for a nice weekend get away. Then will probably look to drive over the show in September @ Palm Beach International Raceway. Then the Ocala Pumpkin Run and of course Mopars with Big Daddy. We'll more than likely drive the 66 Charger to these shows. That is unless the 65 Sport Fury is back from paint and back on the road. Being in Florida has it's advantges of being able to drive the cars year round.
 
hoping to finish my current project(67 coronet).may end up restoring a 94 lamborghini diablo instead.(will net me a ton of $$$$$!)gonna attend"mopars at the strip"here in vegas for sure.i will attend other shows for sure,just not sure where and when depending on my availability.
 
I plan on doing as many car cruises, car shows and hopefully work lots of overtime to pay for all the gas I expect my car is going to consume this summer to makeup for all the years I never got to use it. Had it about 8 yrs. and used it maybe 1 1/2 yrs. so look out I may be a little anxious this summer winters are long up here in the northeast.

Rusty hit the track early this summer and get rid of some carbon dust I here its excellent for allergy's
 
car season

My car is drivable, just not finished...LOL... I plan on making it down to Meep-Meeps Mopar/Missiles Car show/BBQ latter this year, I'm sure the RR still won't be completely done, but pretty much nothen' else planned.... Maybe a couple of local area car shows or even the Sears Point/Infinion NHRA race, maybe spectator at the Mopar Mania race/show at Sacramento Raceway, maybe spectator at the NHRA Hot-Rod Reunion @ Bakersfield, if I can take off &/or hopefully just bring Pops & Buddy with me... I'm not really a car show kind of guy thou, I never really was, more of the swap-meet &/or drag races, are much more my style... Maybe I'll attend a few races & shows this year, but most likely with out my car, if I do, unless either business picks up considerably... I really got to play it by ear, see how old Pops &/or Buddy {my old dog "Lord Budnicks"} are doing, it's hard to really plan & commit to anything right now... I don't keep up on too many dates & events either, I will probably need to be reminded on the ones I am even thinking about... I need to get some much needed motivation & cash flow, spend some $$$ & install all the crap I already have, to bring my car & to be comfortable with it... Good Luck to Everyone on the upcoming car season
 
I hope I get my car together in time.
I hope my car makes it down the track in one piece.
I hope I get addicted.
I hope I have enough money in case I break something.
I hope my wife and kids get half as addicted as I hope I get.
 
A lot depends on whether or not I'm working again. If so,that means I can spend more $$ on the car. With the combo in there now,I want to at least get into the 15's. Considering I only got 16.20's last year-on a somewhat "easy pass"-it should be possible. Going to hit the car shows that I can,get out to the track a couple of times,and enjoy the hell out of the summer. Maybe I'll hit the lottery and just call Best Machine and order up a stroker-and shoot for at least 12's,if not 11's. One can hope,right?
 
Chrysler Carlisle weekend is at the top of my "to do" list this summer.York Reunion on Thursday,Quarter Aces race-o-way on Friday,fairgrounds on Saurday and The Nostalgia Nationals on Sunday.About a 600 mile weekend @ 7MPG and diesal @ over $4.00 per gallon + tolls & motels.
15 lbs of skirtsteak should keep us covered:happy11:
 
Well there's a cruise every night except sundays, i'll prob hit a lot of those as long as I can afford gas. The Good Guys East Coast Nationals june 14-16th, the 2013 Summer Nationals july 4-7th, the Adirondack Nationals sept 5-7th. As far as the car goes just have to put the fan/clutch, power steering pump, valley pan, intake/carb, and vc's back on. I should be pulling the steering box for a rebuild (it leaks) but not sure if it's gonna happen. Everything is dependant on the no job situation :(
 
Expect to hit a show just about every weekend up here in the NW. I would like to go to a few shows and maybe one of the big auctions down in California or Arizona just to sniff around a little. Saving up the gas & motel money as we speak. Hoping that the gas prices don't get too crazy. Just need to rebuild my carb and throw a tuneup on the Bel, along with a good healthy cleaning, and I'll be ready to go.
 
Well where do I begin. As soon as I recuperate from my total knee replacement I'll be able to get going on the car again. About one more month of physical therapy and then back to work also.

I'll be co-organizing the EAST COAST NOSTALGIA SUPER STOCK ASSOCIATION-helping Mark Skinner- keeping the club moving forward by adding dates at other tracks in the North East. We will be having events at Atco, Cecil County, and Lebanon Valley this year. Everyone please
feel free to email me at [email protected] for info on this.

Other than that attend the Nostalgia Race at Beaver Springs in July.
We will possibly have a guest "chef" at selected events so culinary surprises might be served- we will see...

Hope to see every one at the track in 2013.
 
Good luck with that PT Ange,it's the hardest part and too easy to blow off.
 
Thanks Al.
It's intense and difficult at best but has do be done. Without proper stretching and bending the operation will be a waste. I'm only doing the knee once so I'm gonna do it right.
I'll be climbing over that roll cage before I know it...LOL
 
I want to get my car restored by the end of the summer months(gonna be a lot of work) and make it to atleast one local cruise night before winter comes along again.
 
I expect to go from 10 oh's to 9 o's with the upgraded carbs and higher boost levels.I've been limited by the 750 holley DP's that have been on there for 10 years and a mere 4 lbs of boost with a best of 9.93 @ 134 MPH.10 lbs of boost will give me over 900 HP.The car weighs 3850 with me in the car.I have a date coming up at the chassis shop for some minor upgrades and a window net.By the time the track temp is over 50 *,I will go to a track rental and get the comp licence in 1 day:blob1:
 
My pal John installed the valve guide seals today. We leave for MATS in Vegas on the 18th. Then Dream Machines at Half Moon Bay, then Spring Fling in Los Angeles. Coronet is a driver. Hoping for no snow in Vegas as the chains don't fit the 295 50 15's. The Reno HAN etc. And everything in between.
