After sitting in the dark corner of my shop, forlorn but not forgotten, for several years, I decided to actually try to start the RT. With the racecar Charger parts no longer stacked around the car, I put in a good battery, checked the fluids and hit the electric pump, and.... hey it turned over! So, after fiddling with the timing for a bit, it fired up. Imagine my surprise! So today, I DROVE it out of the shop. Sure, it was just down the driveway to hose it off, but hey, I'll take my successes where I find them, no matter how small.

Now, I just need to find the time to fix all the little issues that relegated it to that dark corner.......

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. Keeping the flake paint, all 90 pounds of it! Well, what's left of it, anyway.
