Who Is From Iowa Here

Born, and raised in Iowa! Went to school in Webster City. I haven't lived there since 79 but go back every year for a couple of weeks to see family, What a GREAT state!

I'm here in Des Monez too. Now Mopar yet, but stsrtoho look again. My 38 Ford is Mopar powered, when finished this year. 325+ 57 Dodge baby hemi. Went with IRS EFI for reliability. It will be a driver. I'm looking at getting another 67 Valiant Signet. I want to do a 3rd Gen hemi for a nice daily driver. I'm a year and half away for that thoigh, unless I find a fantastic deal. Give me a shout.
 
Thought I'd add a bit more. Grew up in Waterloo. My 67 B-5 blue was my most fun car. Terrible fit on it. Probably should have been rejected by quality control, but wasn't. 440 torque flight, 3:55 hears. Ran hard, but my 69 Rat trap....ok R/T 440 Super track Pak with 4:10 gears was my fastest. Ran 12.60's but never was the fun car as the GTX was. I moved away in 1970 yo the Quad Cities, then to Cedar Tapids in 1977. The to Des Moines in 97. Still doesn't seem like home. Can never seem to find any real Mopar guys around here.

Whatever, that's kind of my story. Am hoping to find a nice 67 Valiant, to turn into. Signet GTX for a daily driver. Tired of the new stuff
 
I didn't get to see it in person. I was at work and just saw the pics my brother sent, but it looks pretty nice
 
There is a Mopar only race, car show and swap meet the end of the month at Cedarfalls motor sports park in Cedarfalls Ia. Look forward to seeing some of you there. I'll be there racing my black duster and selling some parts. Tom

Trying to get the word out. Mopar Max at the Cedar Falls Motorsports Park. (the old Neita Raceway, Cedar Falls Raceway) It's a fun show, drag race, swap meet but we need more participants and spectators to make it much better. Come on up!
