That must have been where you were going Mike, we were heading up to the cabin and drove by you somewhere between Duncan and Nanaimo, don't remember exactly. Not sure if you saw me, I was in the RAM and honked but for a big truck it has a really wimpy horn, need to get a big rig air horn for it :-D

Ah no I didn't see you drive by, well I probably saw the truck because I see every Power Ram that drives by, but I most likely didn't realize it was you.

Damn, I would have liked to be there but I just started a front disc swap on the Dart yesterday.
 
The Duster should hopefully be on the road by the A&W show and shine in Duncan on June 7th.
 
well guys another great week at Francellis a couple more cars I've never seen before including a black 340 / 6pack 68 dart and a real clean blue cuda 71? that a couple of guys are restoring in they're shop - it's nice to meet some new mopar people who aren't tied to you know who { can you say new resources sure knew ya could } and speaking of the ....... it looks like he'll be taking his ss car to pinks all out along with GT's dart with the 408/w2 roller motor and mikey's 66 cuda { I think he should take the big block wagon instead but hey thats just my opinion and we know what thats worth } I also heard 4 guys from Port Alberni are going and at least one local Bow-Tie guy so it looks like at least 8 guys from the Island got accepted too cool:-D
 
hey 65Val where ya been at eh? haven't seen your car all year, thanks for the link I counted 24 Island guys but I probably missed a couple since I don't know where some of the towns listed are , hopefully I'll get my enhanced license by then it looks like we could at least see a Canadian winner if not a local

Chris...I should be at Francelli's this Saturday. I've been out of town the last few weekends. I 've had the car out and driving, but usually during the week.

See you there this Sat?

Cheers
 
Oh...they have road racing....hehehe:-D Hey, anybody here take their Mopar on the ferry? Mainly those guys with headers? I'm driving my Duster home this weekend from New West. It hasn't been on the road since 2005. I'm worried about my headers bottoming out on the deck. That and the possiblility of it not wanting to start when the ferry goes to off load.

Either crank up the torsion bars, or take a set of tall wheels and tires with you.

Take a good battery or set of jumper cables with you....or one of those "jump boxes".
 
Unfortentley I don't have a choice regarding the tires. I have to use what I have which are the stock 14's. However, after getting out a tape measure, I'm estimating the headers to be about 8-9 inches off the ground. My mom's Grand Am's front spoiler is 7 inches off the ground and it dosen't scrape. It's close but dosen't. The Duster has a brand new battery. But it's having some issues right now. We just got the starter rebuild but the starter relay is screwed. My dad got a new one and is installing it tonight. Hopefully that'll fix the problem.

Sorry but all the pics are on my cell phone { its the only camera I have } and I don't know how to get them over to here to FABO so you'll just have to come and see for your self or meet me at a show and see the crappy pics my phone takes , theres a couple of colours it just can't seem to get right =P~
 
Chris...you left before I had a chance to come to your car and say "Hi"! I saw you when I drove in, then I met up with Greg (new '67 Dart GT owner) and Bob ('67 'Cuda/440 disk-brake-swap car) and when I looked, you were gone . Sorry dude! Maybe we can try for next Sat evening, depending on the weather.

Your Cuda looked good!

I'm hoping to be at the Duncan show on Sunday with the Duster. That's if I can get the wiring issue solved.

Chris...There's a swap meet up in Parksville next Sunday, so ,on the way back down-island, I'll probably stop at the Duncan A+W meet. Hope to see you there.

Cool I just put a new thermostat in the car so maybe I'll do the same thing and go to both see ya on the road
 
Well, heading over to Vancouver on the 3:15 ferry today. Got lots of work to do tonight but the Duster has to be on the road tomorrow. Then I can drive it home tomorrow and get it ready for Sunday for the show. Wish me luck!
 
I apologize for not being able to give you a picture, but go to your alternator thread, the pic that abodyjoe posted is the same pic I would have posted.
