Turbo Challenger at Piedmont Today - 03/01/10 12:43 AM
My buddy called me up this afternoon and said that a grey or silver E-body Challenger was up at Piedmont (north carolina) today. He didn't get a good look at it but the turbo appeared to be in place of one of the headlights...appeared to be a 91 or larger....anyone know who this may be or any details....
I worked most of the day on the shortblock today....took a little bit to get back in the swing but I atleast I got something done.
Block cleaned, tapped front oilgalley for plugs instead of press-plugs, cleaned again. Got crank installed and started putting pistons/rods together....rings are file-fit also.
Got to get back out to the track to make sure I'm top dog E-body.

It looks like Kurt's Chally.I saw pics somewhere but cant find them.Though they were on compplus but arent.It was a two tone black over silver.I remember it because my wife said the lighter color should have been on top. He was wanting to run the GatorNationals in S/G foot braking it.

From what I have seen in pics and been told by some people who saw it at Gainsville, it is top notch...
Oh but the new mill is coming together finally and I would be happy to meet up against it some time!
and the grade point deal if he doesn't have one doesn't sit well with me....know matter who he is
