    Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

    Though I am (\/)opar to the core, I can't wait to see if one of the only two ZL1 Corvettes appears from the dead after 56 years.

    Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

    November is a great time. Beside the fact that Winter is just settling in for the Holidays at that point and a show like this gives you the spring board excitement to get you through those grueling colder months, not mentioning the inspiration it gives you to put some dedication into your...

    Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

    By the way, RMCHRGR here is an excellent visual documentarian of the floors activities. I'm sure we will come back with enough to show, but nothing comes close to being there hearing it, feeling it, and all being healed by it.

    Don't miss it. Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals.

    Its hands down the best show in the nation. I've been to many, many shows over the years, but this one is the cream of the crop in its unique way that it attracts and brings the rarest of the rarest to the floor. Each year is different from the last and allegedly not to be repeated annually, so...

    Thank you 66chargerHi-PO I hope to walk the aisle's as well to see what has been unearthed, discovered and recovered. It should be a party for sure. Last year which was my first year, I was floored on the floor by what was in store.

    Thank you 64Bel. Come say hey. 100th year anniversary of Dodge. 60th year anniversary for the 65's. It should be an exciting theme display of awesome cars.

    We first tried putting this announcement in this very forum for shows and events and for some reason there was no "Post thread" option on the screen. Oh well. It's here in its rightful place.

    CHRISTINE may have had Arnie Cunningham under her subliminal spell, but my '65 Dodge, long nicknamed MR.HYDE, has me wrapped up in plain sight. Since most of you know how maniacally maddening this car project has become, it's only proper that this announcement be made here. After all, some of...

    Where can these types of roll up electrical outlets be found? Do they still make 'em?

    Never mind. I found them, though not like this one exactly.

    That's for sure. It's all in the Arithme-TRICKS.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    What a bunch of elbow grease will bring in shine doesn't necessarily reward much in weight reduction. LOL. We're in the ounce count here, so here's the aluminum version coming in at 2.20 ounces. The factory casted steel part comes in at 5.35. That's a 3.15 shave.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Here's the underside of the door latch handle after a light hand sanding using 3000 paper at finish, then moving on to a light coat of Mother's aluminum polish. It will be mirror finish when finished.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    Almost to the point of midway with the hand sanding at #800 paper. #1000, #1500, #2000, #2500, #3000, #3500, #4000 left to go before the buff and polish by hand.

    The Elephant In The Room: unloading the load from a B-body.

    That's quite impressive on both the fronts of ET and weight achievements. A 383, even at 0.60 over is a hard beast to get going unless with a good shifting 4 speed, stiff gears outback and spinning at heavens gate RPM's. What probably helped you immensely was the lack of carrying fat. Under...
