God Bless Jerry and Mike for getting Randy's car finished, he would be so proud Thats just the type of friendship that Randy gave to everyone he encountered


416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out.

Well the car is nice enough but the presentation sucks !! Big sign in front of the car obscuring a decent front or 3/4 shot. I suppose that's unimportant to the general viewing public but it ruined any chance of a decent pic. Interior looks like a pigpen with all their jackets and junk just tossed in there. Truck left open and full of crap too. C'mon guys, make it presentable !!! Took two shots and decided it was pointless to try taking any more.

???? This was a car Randy was working on that is a street and a race car and was not meant to be a "show poodle". I think it was awesome that his friends finished what he started and showed it as is

Cut them some slack! This car was in pieces less than a month ago. The engine was in my garage, the car was at Mikes house, some of the parts were in Randys basement and others at a storage garage and house Randy rented for storage.All of the chrome needed polishing, trim pieces repaintedand installed, wiring repaired, etc., etc....These guys worked every day on this thing to try to get it there. Mike even did most all of this on his own dime too! All in a friends memory.

I agree, Tyson I helped on his 73 Challenger (turned it into a 73 R/T SE) and he helped me on my 67 BCuda hemi vert. His Challenger laid in my garage for 4 years while mine sat outside, worked on it nearly every weekend. Nothing like friends... Congrats to Lab's friends, thank you.

Maybe you could have said you were from Moparts and asked if they could move the sign temporarily so you could get some pics to share with all his buddies on the board

I believe the facebook link is set to private and you have to be a friend of Randy's to view it

Nobody was around the car except guys from the car(s) next to it.

Don't get me wrong, I know it isn't a show car and there was nothing wrong with the car. My point is that the thing was brought to show and then loaded with crap. All the junk could have gone underneath, behind or whatever. Even thrown in the trunk and the trunk closed!

I just received a text from my wife. One of our local news stations, Channel 7, is planning to have a story on the car at 6:00!

A huge applause for the gentlemen that finished the car and showcased it for Randy and his family and yes I think Randy would be extremely proud and elated. It is sad that Randy could not actually be there to be a part of the journey but I'm sure that his family members are astonished of what the friends have accomplished. Congratulations to all those involved for completing a friends dream.
