Everyday is a new adventure!

Hey forgettaboutit 👍

Thats great. I found most people in this hobby are great people and will go out of their way to help you. One time years ago I threw my belt and needed a V-belt. A friend of mine had a used one and believe it or not he actually charged me for it !! Sorry but I would not even charge a stranger for one of my used belts. But most will help out all the time which is another reason I love this hobby. And Moparts members are the best at helping others. Did you get to race the car at all ? Ron

yes it keeps pinging like crazy

Bad batch of gas somewhere or the timing moved around.

I AGREE

Yo! I thought I was the only Puerto Rican that was up at 6 in the morning. LOL.

I START WORK AT 2AM

Whoa. He is in your rearview mirror. Glad you got it going. I love 65 Coronet's.

THANKS

I finish my yesterday at 1:am today and start at 2:am all in the same day. LOL

I always thought the cool people you meet, make the whole deal worthwhile.

As much as I would have, in much younger years, wrongly denied the social aspects of it...time has taught me, those are some of the best times of all.

true

we're not into this whole thing for the flashy wheels or dashing ET slips, that's all a rehearsal for the return to the pits where the real fun can be had.
Gee, one time some Bklyn cats saw me on the side of the road with my 65' on the way to E-town and stopped to ask if I needed help, thinking that I had broke down where it was actually that I stopped to help a perfect stranger with his 65' Impala sitting in front of me. I got us both to the track after that.

I'm the creepy guy with the extra freeze plug. I better restock my tool box think theres only one left.

Mr. Freeze fixed you up in a breeze Bad Fish. Buy him a cold one next time you see him.

Lucky it didn't happen during a run.

It did. Lol

Evey body this is the man right here. Thanks bro me and son got home cause of this man. Thank u brother

A friend of mine had a rear freeze plug on right cyl head pop out on third pass on new to him car, with an engine out of his old car. Car was just painted two weeks prior. Cost him a date with the retaining wall.

dam

Never a good time for that but way good example of Mopar boyz giving a helping hand..........I hear so much crap about how "different" we are from the other guys............

I do that to my car you'll see some SMOKING deals in the classifieds here...

Great story about good folks helping good folks. Love the hobby. Lee get that '65 to Beaver Springs on July 9th for the Nostalgia Nationals!!

Won't be able to make yet again. New home, new home issues aside from the day job.
I will make it next year. That's a great race but HOOOOOTTTTT.
Even was invited to participate at Roadkill this year, but travels before and after will keep it home.
I am nibbling at it a little here and there though.

We will go together, next year!!have not been back for years!

Word. Would love that. By then we both should have all the Gremlins out of our combos.

Back in September 2010 I had a freeze plug shoot out of the block in my 9 second '69 Dart right after I hit second gear. I don't know how I kept it out of the wall and it scared the $hit outta me.
Now I but JB-Weld around my freeze plugs.
