Funny thing how projects languish, sit, then get re-activated, huh. Even funnier when a bunch of guys sit around and yet another new idea is hatched!! Well, here is the latest,and greatest in the life of my poor 'ol 'Cuda: MOONEYES: "Dale- we want YOU to build the next Mooneyes Showcase car...

My- how the month's have flown by! I still hope everyone is well here on the site? Not that all care, but I am still somewhat immersed in the Mopar kingdom. Some of my last posting were all about the turning of our '65 Barracuda into an altered wheelbase wonder, but I"ve been re-thinking it...

Trying to re-kindle this old post. We're starting back up on this project, and I still have contacts. The car/parts have not disappeared. I'll just keep using this thread to post up the parts as they become available. I'll be building around the existing 273 drivetrain, so its going to stay for...

Thats funny! I thought it was worthless , then Bob Mosher was out at the shop one day, dropped everything, and wanted the whole system!!! I was a beautiful, untampered with system. He'll install it in one of his personal rides.... I'll get some pics of the thru-the-floor subframe connectors. And...

Mike, Indeed you are correct. Its a match to the front opening, much like the customs of the sixties. It turned out really well, I was surprised at how it mimics the front openings much better than a half-circle radius job. The customers tire is a 29 inch tall, by 12 inch wide give or take a...

I've been stuck on working on B-bodies for awhile now, but back into the swing of the ""A's"". Here is a link to Tom Lynch's soon to be on an East Coast drag strip '64 Dart. A rarified SoCal, original owner find car, it has to be one the most unmolested cars I've unearthed to date. They are...

As of lately, nothing really to report on the build-up. A bit of a stall, but I"ve almost every part accumulated for the car at least. I was offered up a street Hemi for the build-up, but (I know, call me CRAZY!) we'll be using a 400 to stroke to a 14.5-1 451, or just take it up to a 500 cid...

Sorry to be so quiet. The car is still together, for the moment. Had to pull off to complete other pending projects, but now, with sponsors on board, and Chrysler's interest in the project, I'll be digging into it pretty soon. Thanks for your patience. Oh, in addition, for sure, the column...

Awesome that your car made the entire trip!!!! A definite feather in the cap. I can only hope for that my next time with these guys. There just better be some CNG filling stations along the way!!! Dale

Mark- How did you do with the Tour? A bunch of us did it some years ago, and it was always a fun time!!! I'm sure you have some 'war stories'? Dale

Thank you for posting that!

Loved watching your car run at Irwindale a few weeks back. I think I got it up on video. I'll dig through the camera and get it to you! Dale

Not sure why it did not work. Wow. If Rainer is a member here, it'd be great to get him to post up about the build. I'll try to see how we can link to his pictures. Amazing dedication to saving a car that sat on a dealer lot for thirty some years, rotting away...

You guys would love to check this out. Its from another board I frequent. This guys dedication to saving this car is beyond real, and will make you appreciate the fact that he has to make most everything from scratch! Take a look: http://www.stevesnovasite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162209
