....Ron is a good guy. He thinks "outside of the box" and then he puts it to the test. Hope to see him back.

Hi Ron, I know your reading this and all I have to say is


....there is nothing like driving my 1968 Hemi Dart around town and having people looking at you like you're nuts!!

Well, I sold my house in Rancho Cucamonga, so I do not have a Shop any more. Sloan is guarding (wearing out) all my shop tools smile

I now live in an apartment in Pasadena and walk to work every day. Still into Racing at Irwindale and have made a few trips up to Fomoso. I finally have a "worthy" SRT Challenger and a pretty darn fast HEMI Truck (13.98 pure stock) both 15's. Just playing with these for the time being.

I do have a long term plan to buy a house again someday after I retire and I am hoping to set aside 50 G's for another build at that time. I will be building cars in my dreams the last night that I go to sleep. It's just how I am.

I saw your car at Woodburn one year and it was fantastic. Incredible build quality. You could make some serious money building cars for the high buck crowd. Your stuff was just as nice as any of the guys who build magazine cars.

The Demon was the bomb with the Valiant a very close second. Glad to hear you are still plugging away missed seeing you and shoting the bull at the MATS this last year. Take care.

My latest ride. 2016 Cat. I flew out to Texas and drove it home 1365 miles. It felt like the Demon pulling at 130 MPH in 35 deg air back there. That SC loves the cold air. It was 26 deg when I got in it the first morning to head back. Car was covered in ice.

Of course it won't 60 foot like the Demon did.

You can drive this car all day long and never know it was fast.

Already added a nice set of Forgeline wheels and MT ET Street S/S Drag Radials.

Have not run it yet. Wish me luck.

Ron
