Nowhere near close enuf, but you gotta love the old battlewagons!
 
I wouldn't miss it as long as I'm alive!
Been going for years to look and drool, and then I brought my Roadrunner to the Battleship show right after I got it. Won a Top 50 trophy that was really special to me since that was my first show with my car.
GREAT SHOW, GREAT VENUE..
BE THERE!!!!
 
I will be there with my daughter, my youngest son, and one of his friends. My daughter is driving 3 hours from her home to meet me to go! I like introducing young people to these cool cars!
 
The wife and the two boys. And me of course. Will be there for sure. Driving over Saturday morning. Planning for the whole day.
 
I'm going!!! Going for several years now. Hoping to find some parts down there.
 
Have you ever sold stuff there? I'm thinking of doing a last minute grab of stuff and setting up a swap meet tent.
 
Bring your stuff to sell, and bring your cash to buy! I have found some nice deals there.
 
The Big Easy Mopar Association (BEMA) car club I belong to is meeting at the i-10 Mississippi welcome center at the Louisiana border at 6:30am Saturday morning to "caravan" to the Battleship. Our club just took the reins to run the show from the wonderful people of the Southern Mopar Assn. so we have to get there a little early.
I am going to be driving my 70 Roadrunner and enjoying the benefits of my Passon a855 5-speed. Moving from a 3.54 r&p in my Dana 60 to the current 4.10 is still going to have my 440+6 spinning 700 RPMs less in 5th than the old r&p in 4th.
See you there!

Got a '66 poly 318 with a Wieand 4 bbl aluminum intake if anybody's interested I could deliver to Mobile Saturday.
Asking $400 was pulled from my Charger to install a 440.
The poly was rebuilt at some point. It doesn't burn oil and ran great.

Intake is worth that.
 
I know, I just want the whole engine to go to a good home. I have the 2bbl intake and carb if needed.
 
Fortunately I washed my car last Saturday. (it needed a wash-I usually just have to dust and use a detail spray, but last Saturday was my first show this season, and I had some "shop work funk" on it.)
Tomorrow morning up at 6:30 to dust and touch up the painted surfaces and then going to use Maguire's yellow liquid wax on it. That should get my Roadrunner off to a good start coating wise for this year. Then a good vacuuming and cleaning of the interior followed by a protectant. Checking my valve cover bolts too.
I'm getting excited about this show!
 
Not being a jerk. But y'all are meeting at the Mississippi welcome center close to stenis on I-10 right??
