Dad's e-body racecar

[AlleyoopMgv]

Thanks all you guys for the great compliments. My dad passed away in 2006 from pancreatic cancer. It was a rough year. I would like to paint my Duster with the same paint job as his Challenger some day as a tribute to him, but you know how it goes, the body/paint guy never can get around to painting his own car. Maybe some day.

Awesome car. Sorry about your dad. I lost mine in 2006 to cancer as well. If you haven't lost a parent, it is difficult to understand dealing with it.

I remember seeing your Dad race that car at the Northstar Nationals in Brainerd. I then again saw it in street trim, probably at the Car Craft Nats in Minneapolis. Nice car.

Yeah he put it back on the street. He let me drive it a few times to some car show's. It was awesome! Still a fast 10 second street car.

I dunno if you know or not, but this thread is almost 6 " six " years old.

Maybe Alleyoop will give us an update.

 

[AlleyoopMgv]

I don't really have an update. Been through a few cars since this thread was started in 2008. Anyways, I do have a dragcar, 71 Demon it's blue with black stripes. I do have one of his old license plate on the front of my car that reads ALLEY-OOP, and a street car, 67 Valiant.

Yes it is great to see a post from you, been wondering. Hope all is well.

 

[AlleyoopMgv]

All is well! Just living life, I have grandkids, and I sit in front of a computer all day at work now.

So, I do check in every once in a while on some of the forums, but I don't post as much anymore. I'll get back at it one of these days!? Thanks guys!
