Saturday April 29th My 4th year. It was my 1st big show with my 70 Roadrunner. I have 3 in a row "Top 50" trophies, hoping for #4. Always fun, weather can range from outstanding to apocalyptic.
Hope to see you there!

Dig the wheels, and a fairly loaded post-car.
 
I want to go again this year
Be sure to introduce yourself! If we met last year and I forgot, I apologize.
Dig the wheels, and a fairly loaded post-car.
Real V code. No console, manual drums (front converted to disc) manual steering. Bench seat, 18 spline pistol grip. AM/FM 8 Track, 2 front dash speakers (none of that works) Track Pak. I really like the vinyl top! Wheels are from Year One/Classic Industries 8's and 9's x17. 315/35/17 Toyo Proxes TQ drag radials. Beautifully centered with the stock 5" backspace and stock leaf spring location and fenderwells, no rubbing ever.
Thanks. Any chance of you being there? Have you ever been?

Is April 29th the date or was that last year's date?
 
Bummer! I have to work that day.
 
The big day is here!
After driving to and from Maryland where I worked this week (16 hr drive each way) I just got back last night. Turn and burn to make it to Mopars at the Battleship today!
Hope to see you there!
 
Great day. Windy, cloudy, hot and humid, but the wind was nice. Zero precipitation.
I was car #185 at 9am, so I know they had over 200 cars. 4th year, 4th "Top 50" :)
I didn't see anyone from this forum there.

Really clean "factory looking" install of a 6.1 HEMI in a.....PT Cruiser!

This truck has a 572 Hemi with a Viper 6 speed! The paint was perfect for that "aged" period-correct look! Love the retro slicks too.
