Nice to see you stop in Nick. I was really excited to see you finish you Charger mainly because I liked your vision. It was way cool when it was a rat with open headers and an inline shifter. That was back when I had my gutted '66 with the 4.30's, open exhaust, and a .557 cam'd 915 headed 448. I painted my car was well and it's been driven maybe 5 thousand miles over a few different combination's that were under the hood. I should have left the patina on it and continued to drive it to the grocery store, bars, and down gravel roads.

Lately I've been missing my ratty old a-body too!

My favorite ride is my beater W100 that doesn't mind if I set a beer on the hood or shoot the AR-15 using the cab as a rest. Thanks again for stopping in!

Edit...after looking over your old car why does it have power brakes, A/C, and the battery in the engine bay?

I see you finally made it to Oregon, too! I dig the truck... any pics of the 66 after paint?

I need another beater for sure. The Harley is fun, but it's too nice. I miss the days of daily driving my Charger, Imperial and 300. I still remember driving the Charger in wintertime on Hoosiers, and with the solid motor mounts the roof would vibrate like crazy right off idle. I also remember not having the reverse shift rod hooked up for a year, and having to choose my parking spots carefully! To a lesser extent I miss the Jeep too, but now I look back on it and realize exactly how unsafe that vehicle was. Whoops.

The new owner put power steering, power brakes, A/C, and a stereo in it. It's super nice, but nowhere near as primitive as I would've made it.

love it..........
