I would like to personally thank everyone viewing and commenting here. I just had a step back moment and noticed how this thread became monumental IMHO......This wouldn't have been possible without you guys! Maybe some gals or gal? @CudaChick1968 HELLO? WTH? lol....
Even dealt with some trolls.......When it comes to correctness they are not "up to date" on the current guidelines but that follows suit with a "lack" of education and a mental problem.....lol
Thankfully, this forum doesn't put up with nonsense.....
FBBO is the number one Mopar forum, hands down.....

I needed that and thank you! It has been a long wonderful journey from the beginning of the restoration to where we are at now. The smoothest restoration I have tackled.....It is fulfilling that this car will be available for the public to see on a weekly basis. I will take your advice I will pat my back.....

Thank you for the compliments! I am super ecstatic over the invitation.....A true honor for the car to be recognized as such....
As far as the test ride goes.....Me too....The last time I drove it was from the enclosed hauler to the garage, lol....That was probably about 200 felt....So there was no
going on....When the car comes back from the museum......It will get some drive time for sure....but that is a long time away.....

Now I’m wondering what they do at Gilmore? Exercise the drivetrain once in awhile- start it, roll it around?,etc. Hoping I’m able to be in Columbus when it comes off hauler after it’s stay up there. Justin & better-half are a class act; met them at the last ‘Nat’s!! Remind me of my boys born in ‘72&’74.

It was a great time meeting up with you. Wish we had more time to hang out that day.....Thank you for the compliments Jeff...
They are essentially caretakers of the car while at the museum. It will be returned the same as when it was dropped off. Once the car reaches its display it stay there the duration unless the change things around etc.....They maintain them in a proper way a mecum of this type does to ensure the mechanicals are fine. The main thing is the environment it is in. The car will get more drive time being there then it s has since it got restored.....lol....
Hey, when the X comes back you are welcome to come over to see the return.......If you do I will take you for a ride and do a burnout! Thats a promise, as long as the weather is nice...
nothing better than lighting up some F70 x 14" bias plys......I could probably start in 3rd gear, lol...
