[bakerhillpins]

Way to go! 

Congrats and can't wait to watch the next ride rise up. 

[RECHRGD]

GREAT JOB MIKE!!!!!!!!!   What's up with the black smoke coming from the car at the end of the video they posted?  Bob

Sweet!  Congrats on the win!  All the whiners can step up to the plate and become very familiar with the tail panel of the 69 Charger...most likely a view they saw regularly back in the day

Now I just have to think about what to build next!

Mike

One for me.

Yeah, congrats, Mike (aka Mr. Angry)! StreetLegalTV.com did a small blurb on it too!

I had to add my  after reading the cry babies comments'''

"Who are these nambie pambie cry babies?.. The hobbie has evolved way beyond the trailer queen scene, Mr. Mike Musto is the real deal, An enthusiast and automotive writer, a real racer and a GREAT Guy!
His persona Of Mr. Angry is a Joke people... You couldn't meet a nicer more even tempered guy,.. He pours his heart and soul into this hobby and his endeavors. Even Hollywood recognizes and pays tribute (though badly). Who wouldn't want to build a old school muscle machine into it's ultimate modern iteration?..
Go take a Q-tip to your ashtray"...

congrats Mike, I love the car a well deserved win.

Mike:  Congratulations.  I love that you're out there doing what you do.  I knew people were going to go bug-fuck over this recognition.  Sad – yet still pretty funny too.  You should consider the "middle-finger" effect you wanted well achieved.  As to what's next...?  I also like the 3rd gen idea.  (Or maybe a General Lee.    ) 

BTW, Brock - I think your comments are 100% on point.

And a well said   , even with the jacked up punctuation.  

[Darkman]

One of my favourite comments.....sort of puts it up the purists a bit too

"Oh Please! Does not anyone respect good honest work anymore, whether it is a hot rod or a restored Packard? Do some people not realize the word "restored" is not a part of the title of Hemmings Muscle Machines? The key word is "muscle"! These cars were never meant to be pampered, they were meant to run! They were sold so that the average joe could have a straight from the factory hot rod and the parts department made (and the aftermarket) made sure the parts were there for the serious speed guy!
I bet there were a bunch of "classics" that are revered now that were highly modified by their owners to their taste back then with little regard to the "correctness" of it!
Actually, with the current thinking of "it-has-to-restored-to-factory-specs" thinking that has taken over the muscle car hobby, all those "classics" with custom hand-built bodies that never came from the "factory" that way should be crushed, they are not "correct"!
Jeez, people, get over it! Times are changing! Either we go with the changes and accept things or the hobby will die!
These comments come from a very close minded person...I can't stand imported cars and don't like anything that doesn't have an American nameplate on it. But that doesn't mean I can't respect the work and the interest that someone has in a car I wouldn't have for my own.
Ok I'm stepping down from the soapbox, I need to go get another beer anyways!"

Again, guys - thanks for all the support! Now I just have to think about what to build next!

Mike

A THIRD GENERATION CHARGER!!!

[Brock Samson]

 do the windows have to rattle?.. 

[dads_69]

Far out Mike!! Man I can't wait to someday own another mopar. Its been killing me lately seeing so many rides in town let alone on line here. I'll be back for sure, soon as my everyday life (misc crap involved) settles down.
I still have a complete vega rear hatch for my next Daytona clone also...

Great job mike! 
How about a C body? 2 door  polara, fury, new yorker...etc..  If you were looking for a challenge that fit the bill.  

something like this maybe...

Congrats Mike!  Nice to see even though I still have a little beef with Hemmings myself but thats my own battle.  Certainly well deserved!

Maybe you should try to modify a K car next?   

[1970Moparmann]

F the negative guys.  Mike, the car is awesome and I hope I get a chance to meet you some day and see the car in person!
