I enjoy all types of cars stock, modified. I guess I fall into the category of customized. Mostly because as a young guy that's what we did to our cars. There where no easy to find repo parts, nobody restored a car to original. The grass roots of the hobby started with the custom hobby and back yard weekend racers.
I really don't care what parts have been changed as long as it's not the vin.

I like cars that have a history, cars that were somebodies pride and joy once upon a time. A slightly worn survivor has so much more character than an over-restored trailer queen.QUOTE]


I get that a lot from my Dart. Take it to a show and people are all over it. She needs paint in a bad way and the engine is GASP black, goig back to boy color when I paint it hough. She has scare on the fire wall from the trans coming apart a some point beore I got it. I did not get why people liked it so much. I park next to some very nice cars at shows and she still gets a lot of looks. I ask people what they like about it and most say it has character and they can tell how much pride I have in her.

Even got a ribbon at the last Fall Fling. No juding for the Fall Fling they just give out few ribbons to cars that stand out to them. I was shocked and more than a little proud that day.

My Cars

Here are my 2 E bodies and my LX Challenger. The Cuda (actually a Barracuda) is completely disassembled and is being built into a road racer/AAR clone complete with a 416 stroker, rear 4 link, Firm Feel front suspension, 4spd and many many other "improvements". The 70 Challenger is a real 440 AT RT California AC axle package car that I built as I would have back in the "day" (six pack, braided lines, etc). My 2010 RT is my daily driver and has a cold air system, lowered, painted stock wheels and pistol grip. I also have a 70 Roadrunner that will recieve my 66 426 Hemi as well as a 01 Viper GTS ACR in addition to a number of other cars. The Cuda is taking all of my time and money currently as I am trying to get it ready for the this summer as they are opening a new road course near by. It will be lime green to match a 70 AAR I had back in 86. The 70 challenger was built similar to my 74 Challenger I had back in 79-82.

Here is a before and after pic of my 70 Challenger. I really need to go back through it and clean up some "issues", but the Cuda is sucking up all of my free time.

BTW the Kevko pan is awesome, however it will not fit a stock K frame, I am replacing it with thier "stock" fitment pan so I can get the steering to actually work. It pays to actually read the website.... Thier pans are exceptionally well built, gated and perfect for a road or drag racer, not to mention cheap. The pan in the picture with the pickup (7 gts) was about $360 with shipping. Thier stock fitment pan and pickup (holds 6 gts) is about $240 with shipping. I highly recommend them. They use a factory pan and modify it so it fits well and is very durable.

Here is one of the latest pictures that I have of my 'Cuda. The front is setting a little high due to my engine is not in it yet, but you get the idea. We just got it out of the paint shop.

Oh, and yes, the rear window speakers will be coming out. LOL

This is my motor. Just built my 440 six pack into a 512 stroker.

Oh, and another disclaimer, That Fram oil filter is just acting as a dust cover. I plan on running WIX filters.
