thanks for the kind words! i have enjoyed sharing the progress along the way. several things have slowed this down. the biggest one was on November 30, 2019, i was nearly killed in a stock car race in Fayetteville NC. i was paralyzed and told i would never walk again! i could not tear toilet paper with my fingers! After 21 days in icu, I have had 16 screws /plates in my neck. over 100 fractures in my eye sockets! broken ribs, autonomic nerve path injury's and on and on. 3 surgeries' later and i can walk! i will post a few crash pics! if i can get this done in time, luck i would love to be at Carlisle this year. it's been a long time coming and I am ready! up

shock Holy cow! It would appear you were lucky to survive that. You are one tough customer to make it through that and the surgeries.

yes sir! I came as close to death as it can be done! hung on for 3 days by a thread. it was on fire and the fuel was all over the rear half from the spinning! took 45 minutes to cut me out of it. i flipped 8 times... God has a need/plans for me! up

a huge thank you to Mike Ross! i have tried everywhere to get the dash faces for this build! the classic ind. part is junk. Mike got this for me and i think he may have 1or 2 more left. i did my best on the photos but the parts are awesome! the lower pic is a better shot than mine. it looks that good!

I had my car on the show field on Saturday and saw your challenger on display in the building. Pictures do not capture how awesome that car looks in real life. Absolutely stunning.

so cool to think a 62 year old man bought this car new . he wanted the hemi, it was the reason he went in to the dealer in the first place. but, they would not give him any warranty on that engine! i was told they only gave him 90 days on the 6 pack! he was retiring from the seaboard coastline railroad and i have cancelled checks making the 85.00 a month payments ! the man behind the car was the captin of myrtle beach police in 1970, he drove the car with 3 miles on it. needless to say he didnt get any speeding tickets when he checked out the top end on highway 501 ......
