Wheeler,
Thanks very much! You beat me to it! Would have taken me a heck of a lot longer to type that out!
No! I don't know how to cut and paste or any other high tech. putor stuff either! Lol!

Thanks again,
Chuck

My VCR is set! There better be some tubbed out ground pounders on there! Just kidding, I enjoy the restored mopars too! It's nice to see anything Mopar on TV.

They just showed the stats for that new Chrysler concept car, 10.60's in the 1/4 mile at 142 MPH.

Almost forgot, is there any Moparts cars I should watch for on the show?

Bob, Bob, Bob... you know I can't give that Info. out! Lol!
Nice try though!
Seriously though, Yes, there are some Moparts members and Her and His cars. Not knowing who all knows who? I can't really say who will know a member or a members car? I am sure someone will know who the specific members are. But keep in mind that some of us are known by our cars, and some of us are known by name or face or even only by our Moparts name! Some who are on this specific show, are known and some not, because they are more observers on here than actual participants. All are cool people and cars! With one possible exception! Lol! I'll defer to others! I trust you will understand after you see the show!
I hope everyone truly enjoy's the show!
Chuck

I hope, 'cause I barely kept up with that description here..

PS. After the show has aired, can you give us any more inside stories ?

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HA Ha Ha--OH YA************ That was GREAT!!!!!
Thanks Chuck, That is purely TOP NOTCH stuff.

Anybody able to make me a video or dvd copy? My VCR crapped out and my roomate is out of blank dvd's. I'd be happy to cover any costs and shipping.

I fell asleep at 1965. That bites.

An all Dodge show and the very last car was a ...............Superbird. It was a very good show. The Black 63 Dodge with White interior is like mine.

Great show Chuck. Thanks for letting us know about it, I never watch TV but I watched your show, great job.
Mike

I wanna watch it again. And again.

Way cool Chuck. Thanks a whole bunch for the three 63's in the first minute. Plus the other 63 shots. Was that your car you were sitting in front of? And when I saw the two 71 Super Bee's, I shouted out to the wife "Hey I've seen those cars before and swapped a few emails with John" (she didn't care, but anyway) Fun viewing, but I'll bet it was even more fun to be involved with the production.

Great stuff. I was on the phone with a Mopar friend three times during the show.

Were the two Plymouths in the last shot a teaser for an upcoming Plymouth episode?

Looking good Chuck and yes it was a great show ! I even saw a real sweet 63 Ply in that Dodge show. Now thats the kinda show I will stay up for. Thanks Chuck. Ron

I, missed it hope to catch the second broadcast though, were there any cudas?

Good job to the guys at American Musclecar. Really neat new format . Like the hour and length. Very good tie in. I hope the people at speedvision are intuitive enough to have more of these kind of specials . I guess everybody needs to click on www.speedtv.com and tell the people of that channel that we want to see more of these kind of shows. Let's ban together and tell speed what we thought and what we think about more of this type of programming. Good job, Chuck!!

Some cartoon called Speed Racer is on right now,so I guess I will just have to stay up to watch the later showing!!!

Dave

GregZ, Thanks for the kind words and all your help!
Also, the Hemi switched to Hydraulics in late 69 and generally known, changed in 1970.

Oz, thanks for the bump help and kind words!

GoSuperBeGo, I'll pass on the positive words on to Stan and Ken! As well as Speed Channel and all the rest of the people who made the show possible.

Micheal, Yes, all Dodge Show, the Cuda & SuperBird are my & a friends cars! Was not my decision, but! I will not complain! Lol! The Bosses Stan & Ken made that call!
For awhile, all the shows ended with the Cuda and Bird!
Thanks for the positive words!

BigDogMike, Glad you liked the show and thanks for your kind words. Glad you watched!

330Scott, I appreciate the input! And I love the '63'S Too!
You are correct! The '71's are Ramona & John Bober's, Moparts members and really outstanding people and gorgeous cars! Can you imagine having His & Hers like that? A dream come true for sure! My problem? I love them all!
As for Plymouth's? Never know??!!

Ron-383Man, Thank you! Coming from You, the kind words mean a lot too! The '63 was/is SUPER SWEET!!

TWEAT HEART, Sorry, all Dodge Special show this time. There was A Cuda! At the very end. Lol!

moparr, thank you very much! I'll pass on the positive words to Stan and Ken, and everyone involved. Very good idea in regards to contacting Speed Channel too. Won't hurt one bit! Thanks again.

I want to thank Stan and Ken for bringing me on board as the program coordinator and special thanks to all the special people who gave of thier time and allowed us to shoot all of thier gorgeous cars and for all the interviews etc., (Big Daddy Don Garlits and all the other big name icons!). It was a fun time, but also very very intense doing so much, and yet so little actual on film time! Thanks for making the show special!
Chuck

Damn, wanted to finish the sheet metal work tonight (changes to the tunnel to make room for the GV OD) - ended up in front of the TV and just got the drive shaft measurements done!
Frank

I do not get Speed Channel and would be willing to buy a copy of the show from someone. Sounds like I missed a good show. Send me a message if someone will sell me a copy. Thanks

Chuck; Two thumbs up, great show! Beautiful cars, nice footage. Dave

Great job Chuck! I really enjoyed it and I'll probably watch it again tonite! It was cool to see a nice mix of restos, hot rods and drag cars. Well done!

It was sooo cool to be asked to play with Chuck, Paul, Stan, Randy and the crew!

First off, it was FUN!!! Just to meet and hang out the entire day with some GREAT people. Even the Video crew was cool.

Chuck is a first class guy all the way. He is so professional in every way. I think the show was fantastic! The 1hr goes by like a ¼ mile.

Paul is the King of knowledge. I don’t know if he knows how much he knows, but man, he knows it all! He also is just fun to be around and hear him talk about cars even when not on camera.

Stan (the producer) is like meeting someone that you have known for years. He has the best job because he gets to meet and talk to everyone. This takes lots of time, but you can tell he loves it.

Randy is always cool. Every time I see him, he comes up to me to say, “Hey you ya doing”?

Thanks again so much!

Tweat Heart,
Thanks for the compliments.
Where to get a '68 Hemi Dart?, as a matter of fact, yes, I do! Go to www.SS&AFX.com All you had to do is ask! Lol!

quickD100, Thanks very much for the kind words! Glad you liked the show! I will pass your input onto Stan & Ken, as they are the people that have the vision and passion to put it all together. There are a ton of people that will appreciate hearing that the work they did, was enjoyed by real enthusiast's like you and all the others!

Bob-ProSport, Thanks for the Kudo's! Your positive words will be passed onto the rest of the team and all who had a part in making the show. The cars are the stars and thanks to all who own and preserve the cars and the history. With a gorgeous car such as yours and the many others on Moparts, you know 1st hand the time and money invested.
I am hoping that the "Big Wheels" at Speed Channel will see the many good things Moparts members have said. It all helps, and anytime we can get Moparts and it's members some Ink or Air time, is all good in my book, for Moparts etc.
Thanks again,
Chuck

It was a great show. As a history buff and an Analyst I liked the chronological progression from the beginnings of the company under the Dodge Brothers to modern times. I certainly wasn't aware of the business partnership between the Dodge Brothers and Henry Ford. Good to see new material and the 1 hour format allows more time to present this material. As an A body guy there could have been more on the 340 Darts as they were a big part of Mopar musclecar history.

Is the show going to be avalible on DVD or VHS for sale?

It would be nice to be able to get an official copy of the show, like some other shows?

Having missed the show

If this is posible, let us know, Thanks

great show!!! I watched it both times last night!! recorded it the second!! lol! it was nicely put together! I'm just waiting on the plymouth episode now! lol! and I would be interested in buying it on dvd also! thanks....KC!

Great show BUT WE NEED MORE

Tom,
If there is not official one (or until then) be happy to send you a copy I taped from the broadcast.. Just shout

Great Show!

I had to tape it twice as we had severe weather alerts blasting over the TV right when they started talking about the second generation Chargers. ARRGH!

The hour format was much better. They always skipped a lot of stuff when trying to squeeze into 30 minutes. Could have spent less time on the history of Dodge but that is interesting too. I was surprised that there wasn't much mention of the Super Bee, especially the A12 cars.

Was cool to see the Bober's cars side by side at the end. I have a certain affinity for high-impact '71s.

Nick.

A+ on the show, in fact, I went to the Speed channel site and sent in some very positive feedback and a request for more! I for one loved the history lesson as there was a lot that I didn't know. I too was surprised at the lack of mention of the Super Bee, but I guess it's fair to say that sales-wise this car was overshadowed by the Road runner. Overall I thought the show was very well produced and the content was first rate. I rewound that one shot of the hemi Dart running thru the gears from inside the car over and over with the volume cranked- man, what a sound!

We want more! If that show had gone on for five hours, I would've sat right there and watched it.

A great 1 hour show.Those responsible...good job!!!!!!
You will never hear it from from hot rod mag but the show brings to light how lame chevy(gm) was in the golden era of nascar racing.Makes you wonder why Bill France changed the the rules???

JohnnyBee, Hey! I know you! I guess I was typing while you were posting! Lol!
No, Thank You and your Lovely Wife! To drive as far as you did and uncertain weather conditions? And Coollllddddddddd!
(For FL anyways!) I am really glad to hear from one of the true stars of the show! I am glad you liked the show! That means a lot!

As for Paul Z.? I wish I knew 1/2 of what he knows! I hope my delivery on camera will be as polished as Pauls some day.
It's only a dream at this point! I can only hope to get more opportunities to get better!

Stan? Stan is the consumate Pro and friend! Stan and Ken are the one's with the vision and passion, and along with Speed Channel, they make it work and all possible!


As for Randy Bolig! He is way ahead of the curve at his age in this industry! Great guy! He is sick though! Remember he offered to put his convertible top down for the camera man to be able to get good shots during the drive alongs. It was COLD out! Brave or crazy? Not sure which! Lol!
Again, much thanks to my new friends, Ramona & John Bober!
