Well, she made it out to the Mopars in the Park! got to see a lot of members and bs a bit  when I pulled into the show and parked on saturday, Rob Wolff was right behind me and asked to do a photo shoot and do an article on my car! that was pretty neat. also had 2 pretty serious offers to buy the car (not listed even?) so that was flattering as well. for being a plane jane looking roadrunner, I was surprised at the attention it got.. Also pissed me off, someone stole one of my valve stem extensions...  Had a great time though!!

Congrats Kevin! It turned out great. I wish I was going to be at the dealership this weekend for your dad's A100. Dean is a great guy and a good customer of ours. He & his wife bought a pink SRT8 Challenger from us and his son just bought a new Charger R/T a few months ago. BTW, if you see anyone selling any brand new Ram 20" wheels & tires, alert the police. Someone jacked up one of our trucks and got away with three of them on Wed. night. I think Rice Lake got hit too.
I will defiantly keep a look out. thieves are the absolute worst!! I have no clue why my dad bought a van!  very out of our norm! I promise Ill bring the rr up there and visit in the near future, we'll keep in touch! as far as the FAST in michigan, Id love to go, but thats next weekend correct? I have to work next weekend, and a guy from the other shift quit, so Ill have to pick up some of his slack to boot. I will go if I can! Theres soo much I want to get done this summer, its ridiculous. the car should be making a visit to our local track in the near future also!

WOW! All I can say is WOW!! You did a hell of a lot better resto on the RR than I could have. I wasn't able to get to Mopars in the Park this year to see it  It looks absolutely fantastic my friend- I'm glad that it went to someone who could really appreciate it and get it back to where it belongs. Thanks for keeping me posted along the way Kevin  John P.S. Any progress on the 70 Challenger RT/SE that I sold to your Dad?

as Im sure most of you have seen, I've been trying to sell my roadrunner for the last few months. Last Thursday I had someone commit to buying her and sent a down payment. In 3 weeks I'll be hauling it down to it's new home in Ohio. This has been a bitter sweet adventure and I don't think it has really set in quite yet. On a different note, I kept the FAST 340 and replaced it with a nice stock 340. My stroker motor will reside in my new project that I just picked up yesterday Just got home from a trim to Missouri with a 71 340 duster that needs a lot of tlc, but when done it will be a phenomenal car!! originally it was equipped with nearly ever option I would have checked off when new including hemi orange, V24 blacked out hood, black vinyl top/ stripes, orange bucket seats w/ console, 3.91 gear, exhaust tips and rocker/ wheel well trim. other than a 4 speed, this is my dream car. My dad just pulled his 70 V code roadrunner in the shop to restore (my old car) so after its done, the duster will get a resurrection that I hope will be even better than the roadrunner. Again, thanks to all who have gave me advise, encouragement and compliments through this journey. It's amazing what a person can do when you put your mind to something and I'm in every bit proud of what I have accomplished.

Man this car sure turned out really nice! It was nice to see a color that was different that the traditional high impact colors be restored. I actually kind of like the white and gold now because of this car. I can't wait to see what you do with your duster as I have a '71 I am going to be working on pretty quickly here! Very well done resto, you have lots to be proud of! Good for you for sticking with the 340, most everyone yanks them for a big block but they can still roll with the best of them.
