Thank you Mike,

Yes, it's been a long road filled with pot holes and some days it felt like it would never get done. With patience and perseverance and folks like you and Brian (Charger-Bodie) and a host of others on this website, one may accomplish anything!!

Curt

P.S. The only way it will leave is if someone offers stupid money, really stupid money. In that case I'll buy you a beer!!!

To this day I still kick myself for not buying Larrys X9 Charger R/T converted to a Daytona clone.
I was $5k short so I bought his '71 'cuda.  Ive had a lot of cars over the years but I really miss that 'cuda and not borrowing money for the Daytona.
Larrys the type you can buy from sight unseen.

Your rig looks absolutely fabulous man!  Wanna trade, lol?

This young gentleman asked if he could take a picture of the car, and I told him that we could do one better!
Helping to keep the next generation interested. He was a happy camper as was I.  Priceless

Good day sir,

It was a last-minute thing, and I believe they will try to make it an annual event.

Curt

[moparstuart]

Yes we had like 3 weeks notice to throw a show together , not a lot of time .  I hoped for more cars ( especially local cars)  but with such little time it was decent .

My Mom was here staying with me for a month otherwise I would have made the trek June 4th.

Tell you what.  I don't remember this heat, lol.  Two weeks of 100 plus forecasted, smh.
I can deal with it, it's my service partner Golden Retriever I worry about.
Most shows are on Saturdays Ive noticed too.  Up in the nw, it was Sundays mostly & Saturdays.  I can't do both days like I used to.

What Im noticing is shows are up to around first of June and mostly after July.
Opposite of up there too, lol.  Up there the rain doesn't stop until July 5th, like clockwork.

Theres one up in Nebraska I was thinking about heading to this Saturday.  I just need to get my foot back in the door to learn which shows are worth the hassle, lol.

Thanks buddy!

Sorry Mr. Pan for straying your thread.
I was always a Shovel dude like keepat until I got hurt and got outta putts.  My first year '77 AMF 3900 original mile FXLR (mom bought it for dad) went to a Japan dealer and pretty sure was lost during tsunami.




Anyhoots.  Just sealed envelope for pre registering the HPAC show October 1st show in kc.

I drove close to 500 miles round trip to shows up on the Canadian border when I lived in the nw with various rides.
Just not in 100° weather, lol.

If you right side Kansas folks know of someone coming from the left side please let me know.  I always feel more confident traveling in a group.

Anxious to meet Stu and the rest of you!




If I can find someone to ride shotgun, I'll do the Nebraska to kc cruise.


Ive put less than 1k miles on everything being new with the purple car.  I should be ok?...famous last words, ha!

[panhead]

Good day sir,

No need to be sorry, I'm glad to hear that you'll be coming to the HPAC show in October. I plan on being there and looking forward to meeting you. It's a good time with a lot of great people and cars!!
