[TUFCAT]

VERY COOL! 

[jb666]

WHOAH... What an amazing group of pictures... 

[dads_69]

Wow! I need another charger! That blue van was way cool, great photos, thats BananaDan 

[BananaDan]

That blue van was very pimp.  It's from NJ, some of the fellas know him, he was in the T last year.  He had an original Led Zeppelin Zoso ashtray on top of the cabinet.   

[b5blue]

Thanks Dan!!

[Chippa]

Awesome pics !!! thx 

[71ChallengeHer]

Appreciate the pics, Dan. Thanks. 

[RECHRGD]

Thanks for the pics Dan!  I'm much more comfortable sitting here looking at the cars than those people that are actually there appear to be........

[Back N Black]

Awesome cars! 

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

Great shots Dan!  Thats a sweet camera

[BananaDan]

Thanks for the pics Dan!  I'm much more comfortable sitting here looking at the cars than those people that are actually there appear to be........

Yes, it was quite uncomfortable this year.  I went through 2-3 t-shirts, 2 face towels and 6-8 20 oz. bottles of water per day (and some misc. beers mixed in  ).

Great shots Dan!  Thats a sweet camera

Thanks dude.  If it wasn't 110* I might have been able to shoot some A and E bodies on the field.  Oh well, there's always next year...

[Patronus]

Wow, thanks so much for sharing!! Those old race cars are the best. Some of those 70's look so good I might have to trade the '69..

[nvrbdn]

great pic's dan.glad to get to see them.

[BananaDan]

No complaints with that logic!

[Ghoste]

Very nice, high temps or no it would have been great to be there.

Yep, awesome pics! 

The van is owned by a good friend of mine. I've known him for decades. Great guy. 

[1974dodgecharger]

THX A BUNCH!!! 

[Fred]

Thanks heaps. Almost (and I use the term loosely) as good as being there.
But I've got to say, if I were there, the stalls would pretty much get most of my attention..........it's a sickness.   

[moparstuart]

nice thanks for sharing

[AirborneSilva]

Thanks for the pics 

[hemi68charger]

Great Pictures.... Thanks for sharing Dan... 

[Charger_Dart]

Thanks for sharing the great Pic's 

[resq302]

nice pics Dan!  That one you took of my charger surprisingly came out the correct color on film which is very rare.  Usually it is off in the color for some reason depending on sun light and other variables.

[charge69]

It doesn't LOOK hot in the pictures !    They are very well done, by the way !!  Love 'em. Thanks for sharing.

[tan top]

awesome lot of pictures Dan  thanks for sharing 

[Steve P.]

Awesome pictures and some really awesome paint jobs... Lovin it!! Happy to see the CUSTOM VAN made it in the pics too.. I miss the days of the wild paint jobs and customized vans... Very cool..... 

[rick.d]

Thank you Dan! Never been to Carlisle yet, so i look forward to pics.

[Chris G.]

Great pics Dan. That 45K camera can do work kid! 

[BananaDan]

Ha, I wish, then I could sell it and buy another car!

[firefighter3931]

Thanks for posting the pics Dan....nice camera work 

So, how is the car driving with the new updates ? It must be a lot nicer out on the freeway 



Ron

[nh_mopar_fan]

Thanks for sharing. Someday, I will get down there.

[BananaDan]

Ron

She's sweet now Ron, thanks for asking.  I compare her to Jekyl and Hyde now.  She's a beast at red lights, sounds mean idling, purrs liks a kitten on the highway (as quiet as my Jeep Liberty) but can still go from 70 to 100 in a few seconds.  The steering was still sloppy which made for an interesting trip but I picked up a new Steer & Gear Stage 2 Firm box at the show and it will be replacing my loosey goosey box in a few weeks.

[bad88t-top]

Great pic's Dano.    I'm glad to be a part of such a great group of old Mopars.    Go TX9!!!

Great news Dan ! I guess we hit the right combo with cam/stall/gearing and overdrive !  

That 303 cam is a nice grind  

Nice job on the detail work....those hood callouts are sharp  


Ron

[BananaDan]

I didn't put the 303 in yet, I still have the Isky Mega 280.  I wanted to see how the Isky ran with the new converter and rear end for a while before I made any costly decisions like a cam change.  I'm also considering swapping my 906's out for some Eddy heads so I may wait and do both at the same time down the road and give me some time to save up the cash.  The changes I did make cost a bit and had to pick and choose what to bite off this year so I went with the converter, OD and rear for now.

[DC_1]

Here are a few pics I took.

Hope you don't mind me adding to yours Dan. I just didn't want to clutter things up with another thread.



















And here is a link to some more

[BananaDan]

No worries, it's all good!  Nice pics...

[Steve P.]

IS it just me or does that Valiant look pretty cool shortened up?

It looks fine, could be those duck feather allergies acting up & blurring your vision.


By the way Dan, those pics came out really nice, I hate my camera even more now.

Nice pics! These were some of my favorites:

Oh so nice!!! And not green  


Loved the paper tags/underhood markings  


This one was a mess (in their pics) before resto:  


and this one was smashed in an accident, not too long ago... Cleaned up nicely!  

[nvrbdn]

great pic's.

[resq302]

I actually sell / repro the antifreeze tag and the factory ok tags.  I had them with me at Carlisle.  I honestly thought that R6 red charger that was a basket case would have taken 1st.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would come home with a first at this show due to the quantity and quality of the nicely restored cars that seemed to be nicer than mine.

[Tilar]

IS it just me or does that Valiant look pretty cool shortened up? 

I'm curious if that was a 4dr turned into a 2 door wannabe?

[bsakal]

BananaDan,

It was great to meet you, and thanks for the torque converter!

No problem, it was great to meet you too, and thanks for the money!

I don't think it was a 4 door. But it definately was someone with a saws all, set of torches and a few cases of beer I'm sure!

[Steve P.]

Looks to me that it MAY have been a 2 door to start with, but it now has front doors from a 4 door and a good section removed after the B pillar. I like it.. Would love to know the original WB and what it is now.....??

No kidding? You made the tags on the orange 1969 Charger? That car was unreal!!!  So was that R6 

[DadsCharger00]

Wow. Amazing pics man I'd love to make that trip one day!!

[resq302]

no, I made the antifreeze tag and the factory ok tag on the R4 red and white charger.

Why thank you kind sir

The tags were purchased from Brad's NOS a while ago...

[billfury]

Hey Chris, your 69 charger was amazing looking. You keep changing the wheels I wasn't sure if it was yours. I like the dog dish look the best. Erick & I were looking for you Friday, but you weren't at the tent. I did see Chris G. Always good to see an old friend. I also meet BananaDan,very nice to meet you.I'm hopping that next year I will meet more.Here's a picture of the hood I bought from Carlisle.

[nvrbdn]

good score there.

[HeavyFuel]

Great pics....but what have you got against '68's?

[Troy]

Great pics....but what have you got against '68's?

There weren't hardly any there! I was thinking that I needed to get one of mine drivable just so there would be more at the show. I've never had a Charger there - only my E-bodies.

Looks like a nice score you got.  You know where I live.... Let me know if you need any help!

[HeavyFuel]

What's up with the small log stuck behind the bumper of the green Barracuda?

Survivor car that was sitting and tree grew up there or what?

Beats me.    Nobody was hanging around that bldg the times I walked through it.   

My friend Dave owns the yellow mod top with the black stripe.    I only saw him once....  passing him in his rig hauling the trailer on 81 around Harrisburg.

[Bob T]

Great pics Guys, Thanks for putting them up . Got to get there one year

Yep, a tree had grown into it and I guess they cut above/below but left the stump for effect.
