Thats cool I dig the enthusiasm. I just wish I had some of the pocket books you guys have my combo is still the same for the last five years. Motor has never been out same old stuff but I did buy centerlines and new slicks. Hope I can hang???
 
good stuff you guys!

i got started back in the late 60's. my dad worked at a dodge dealership back then. i remember dick landy bringing his hemi-dart and charger down to the store with his traveling clinics. in '77 when i got 18, i bought my '70 cuda. i've been in and outta the game a few times since the 80's, but i'm on my way back now. maybe someday i'll bang fenders with a few of you quicker boys......till then, give 'em hell fer me......
 
You forgot a few guys....the nova boys...(green nova with yellow stripe)....Rielly.....Karman..Dennis with the blue 69 Chevelle....oh and me :~)
