We're planning on getting there around noon or so.

I don't think that's really restorable, BUT I want it anyway...

Can't go by my car. All front end sheet metal was replaced in 1970. The hood on ours is a '69 as pointed out by HemiSSDart when he stopped by the house several weeks ago. The letters were better than yours, but still not quite straight. My fenders are worse. We'll be addressing this when we do...

Ok, the car won't be making it (not the car's fault). We'll be in the swap. Anybody want to share our oversized space? We'll be there Friday for early setup. At least that's the plan.

We might be bringing a slightly undone A-body. It is painted, though...and the sway bar is now installed instead of lying on the floor. Gotta find another headlight, even though we aren't driving it...

@autoxcuda what do you think about my questions above? I'm mostly concerned about Thursday and Friday night.

We're thinking about going to the speed festival at Willow on Thursday, leaving Wednesday afternoon.

That's why I have long advocated for the 360. It got a bad reputation due to being released at the beginning of the smog era and not having a performance option until 1974. I remember conversations in the early 1980s with people degrading the 360 as worthless. I knew they were mistaken...

I have owned a factory 340 car since 1983 and it will remain a 340, as it should. BUT, I have long advocated (since before I owned a Mopar 340 car - I did own a non-Mopar 340 car once upon a time) for building a 360 for a street performance car simply due to the cost difference and ready...

Hey Steve, I've got some RV parking questions for you. 1. RV parking Wed. night at Willow??? I do have some potential options other than the track. 2. RV parking Thurs. night between Willow and Van Nuys??? So that we can make the Friday cruise. 3. RV parking with trailer at the park Friday...

One more thing. I'm doing the same brakes and suspension no matter what engine. The car will handle reasonably well and stop well.

I have done some 440 swaps. I don't have near $20k in any of the cars. Then again, I look for bargains and have been fortunate and been at this a long time. I build copies of the old Direct Connection k-member, but cores are getting very hard to find. I've had 440s pretty much drop in my lap as...

Emblems on the '65s indicate two barrel cars from the factory. VIN on the '66 is a slant. Without looking at each car carefully to see how any mods were done I wouldn't bid on any of them.

We should be there. Either have my son's Dart convertible ('67 Viper blue 440/4sp) or my Barracuda convertible or be in the swap meet with my newly acquired diesel pusher.

Don't believe it...
