My new resto shop is officially complete.

Hey Phil, any chance of you making up to Branson in August for the three day show. It's a blast for the whole family. We go up on Thursday morning and it's non stop all weekend. The shows on the strip are great and there are cars everywhere. The only downside is that it's the same weekend as the Mopar Nats. We haven't been to the nats since 2003.
We usually take 2 to 4 cars up every year and the motel lets us park them out front. They hire a security guard to watch over them. Rooms are only $50 a night and it's right on the strip. If you're interested, I'll save a room for you. We reserve one side of the hotel for our group. Our only problem is not getting enough sleep. No one wants to call it a night since the cars keep running around until almost dawn. Would be great to have that bird sitting out front and cruising the strip all weekend. We talked Howie into going last year and I think he's already made plans to go again. It's addictive.

By the way, hotrod98, was that your green '73 cuda that was there last year? If so, you were the only one that beat me in my class. 

Sorry about that. That's my wife's cuda. We always stay at the Windsor Inn across from the elevated wooden go cart track near the water park. I usually take my red 71 cuda also but it wasn't running right so I left it at home. Turned out to be a bad MSD coil. That's the second time that she's won first place with her car. Trophy and a hundred bucks is kind of a nice way to end the weekend. She usually drives it but we decided that we needed  a second vehicle so we trailered it so that we would have the truck there as well.
Which car did you have there? As I said before it's kind of a full weekend yet laid back at the same time. The wives usually go to some of the shows while the guys hang out and drink a few. What did you think about Friday night? I was surprised that the cops stayed out of the picture as much as they did. They were on a mission from God in 2006 about the burnouts.
Anyway, stay in touch and we'll park together at the show. We'll have at least two cars at the motel, maybe more if I can recruit drivers. I would love to take my runner this year and maybe one of the Trans Ams. We'll defintely take both cudas.  See ya there. I hope.

Phil,
e-mail me...hotrodcuda98@hotmail.com and I'll give you my cell number. Howie says that he's going.

I guess winning 2nd place, $75, and a trophy is better than nothing. I couldn't have lost to a nicer car. I had the Starsky and Hutch Limited Edition Ford Gran Torino that was parked in the Star Cars area at the outside gate. My dad and I should have the Charger done this year. If that's the case we may bring both or just the Charger this year (depending if the have the star cars exhibit again). The cruise was amazing. I had no idea there would be that many people watching the cruise. It was unbelievable. I really hope I can make it again this year.

Very nice car.
I wish I had the time to finish my 69 Charger. Keep going back and forth on whether to Daytonaize it or not. It's a real triple black R/T SE but isn't matching numbers. I don't want to piant it since I may be altering the back window if I go the Daytona route so it just sits in primer almost ready to paint. Decisions, decisions.

I vote for keeping it stock and finding another car to Daytonaize.

as I've told you before , leave that car alone. find a date coded motor and restore that one . or sell it to some one that wants to bring it back . get a regular  charger and daytona it . Rene

Stuart, I just registered for the 2008 SEMA show. We fly out on Saturday, go to the NHRA finals on Sunday and go to the SEMA show Tuesday through Friday. In order to save up the money for that trip, I'll probably skip most of the shows and just go to Branson and Vegas this year.

Rne, My friend that I bought the car from has first dibs on buying it back and I couldn't even get a shell for what I paid him for the car. I can always put the car back original later. I certainly won't let go of any of the original parts.

I know that 3 wing cars will be there you might try to atlease spectate saturday ? 

[hotrod98]

It's only about 2 1/2 hours to Branson from here. We might drive up for the day. I'll  have to go eat at Outback while we're there. That place has great food. I just started eating there a couple of years ago.
I always thougt that it was an Outback Steakhouse.
The chain of Outback Steakhouses don't even compare.

Awesome, much better than my two car garage that I can barely get my Charger into.  If you need some business let me know.
