Havent seen that car in a long time......be good to see it back out. So much for my belief that only four other people on the planet remember seeing my car at the track; looks like there are five. Make that six...

Make that six... Nope; you & Douglas are two of the original four, Mike Hynes is the third, and John Dallain(sp?) is the fourth. I did forget include Jim Hanrahan, probably because he dropped off the radar years ago. Guess that does make six, though.

No updates on my effort, other than my garage isn't quite as cluttered after having spent some time sorting thru sh!t.
Mike's actually made progress, for which I have some photographic evidence. The things I've asked him to take on run the gamut from replacing fuel system components I'm concerned were damaged from extended E10 fuel exposure to handling some body & paint stuff to slightly "re-image" the car per some ideas I had.
I provided him the remaining '70 B5 paint I received w/ the car in 1995, but the color match is off enough that it doesn't appear to have been what the car was actually painted with before I bought it. The front & rear bumpers have been relocated flush w/ the body as w/ '70-72 Challengers, we've gone w/ body-color bumpers & rear tail light trim, the tail light modules are now black, the grille's been blacked out, wheel well bright trim removed... just a bunch of stuff. Still definitely a "20+" footer, yet different.

What's the deal with the patch that was welded inside the engine compartment on the left inner fender? I like the red pin stripe on the grill Also the crack on the left front frame rail is this common on the mopars ? I think someone else has found a crack on the frame rail, Doug with the 64 dodge I believe

Good progress. The body color bumpers look really nice on there, I like it better than the black.
Let's see that cool looking hood scoop...

I think that's where the battery mounted originally. Not unusual to have rust from the acid.

I think that's where the battery mounted originally. Not unusual to have rust from the acid. The battery was still in the front when I bought the car. If that area had already rusted when the front end got bent up (per Mike's ), maybe it needed to be patched before the battery tray could be mounted there again.
