Last big block car you could get iirc... some came with 400's. there was a nice GT in Watertown for years.... but not for sale. Was packed to the gills inside with boxes of junk. Had the nice argent wheels and chrome trim rings...

When we were looking at the Magnum, I told him it looked like a good start!

I've got a mix of poorly painted original sheet metal combined with the foil/Dzus you speak of . Cool thing is I bet that Magnum is driven all over.... unlike my heap that either occupies space in the garage or trailer.

His car was at the chassis shop the same time mine was and he let me crawl all over it. Very nice build and he had built it to run. I believe he has made passes at Bandimere in it but I do not know what it ran. I really like it. Better get inside Ma. Looks like a storm's comin'.

That Magnum looks pretty cool to me... but then I am kind of an oddball anyway. LOL If it were mine - it'd probably have rubber all up behind the rear tires to go with a stack of timeslips. BTW - I miss seeing you trying to make the earth rotate the other way with your Challenger.

My buddies love to tease me while telling me my junk would be fast if I just pulled another 1500# of weight out of it. LOL
