Cool. I have to get more involved in the local Mopar community. My uncle and 2 cousins all have National Award winning Mopars and go to some of Ralph's shows. I don't know if I'll have anything on the road for this year's show season. As you are well aware, much of the hard-earned money you make in this state goes right back to the state. Makes it difficult to complete a big dollar project in any reasonable amount of time. I guess I could always give up eating... lol. Thanks for the welcome.

Thank you. The truck is a 1950 Chevy commercial cab rat rod that a friend of mine built years ago. 383 stroker that sits almost under the cab. Real down and dirty and goes like hell. I'm storing it for the winter for him since the '68 is gone...

Forgot to mention the 1969 1/2 A12 Bee looks good and the 70 T/A is gorgeous!

Thanks man. I've had the A12 for almost 3 years and have never heard it run (pretty lame, I know.) The T/A restoration has been a painstaking process so I decided to take a break from it and see if I can at least get the Bee on the road for this Summer. The A12 is extremely solid - no rust anywhere. Someone did a really poor job patching around the quarters (I'm assuming there was rust there) so I will have to attend to those areas when the time comes to restore those gorgeous B-Body style lines at the bottom of the doors and into the quarters. Original interior is in great shape. My engine builder is top notch and is very well known in the racing world here on the East Coast so it should be a blast. Looking forward to leaving some rubber here and there soon!

That 68 bee was gorgeous

Welcome from Michigan, all great cars, awesome level of restorations your doing!

That 68 bee was gorgeous

Thank you! That was my first B-Body and it was as much a pleasure to drive as it was to look at. I sold it to help fund my other 2 restorations. Certain cars you could care less about but that one I definitely miss. I appreciate the kind words...

Thanks man! I'm just one guy in my garage trying to do what's right for these cars. The A12 and the Challenger both deserve to be resurrected to their assembly line state in my mind just due to the rare and cool factor of both of them. I couldn't do them without help from people in the Mopar community like yourself and everyone else on these forums. I really appreciate the kind words...
