hey don, power tour was great! a rocker shaft came loose and broke into four bits, all the lifters on that bank came out of their bores and a push rod got lunched.we chased parts, found a mopar junk yard(right up the street) and got the thing back together on a gas station lot. the ol' 383 performed great after that and laid down some impressive burnouts.
I'm close on the charger but put it on the back burner to get the beater newport ready for power tour. now that the tour is behind me i plan to get back on the 70. come to think of it i did not see the first 70 charger on the three stops i made. how is that charger of yours comin' along?

here is a shot of our crew. we are standing by a '65 ford squad car owned by one of the dudes. the newport could not get around the ford this time but with more carb and more gear i think i can take it. there is never a cop around when you need one.
