I have my 70 Runner.....this is his build I'm just supervising. All started by asking him what he would want for a drag car....He is 12 and has it all planned out. Takes after the ole man I guess lol.

went to my brother's on Saturday to help with his '67 Coronet and pick up parts I had stored there. Well J scored again for his "Shaggy Cuda" as my brother calls it.
 
Love that. My oldest girl loves working on the old Mopars. She cleaned up the floors in one I’m almost done with. Can’t beat time with my kids doing what I love and they get knowledge and enjoyment as well

I met a guy last year who’s daughter was getting married during drag week. The guy had all the arrangements set for a year for wedding, Needless to say drag week happened to be that same week. Long story short she canceled the wedding for two weeks so she could go with her dad on Drag Week. That’s epic!!

Looks like my first car. I always kept it and am now actually getting it done. If it's truly his, tell him to always keep it.

I had a '70 340 4 speed Cuda, still kicking myself for selling. Junior says he is gonna find it one day and buy it back for me....when He gets his license in a few years he want a '68 fastback B-cuda 340 4 speed car for his cruiser.
 
That’s pretty neat! I tracked down my moms 66 fairlane 500 a few years ago. It was so destroyed from the guy that bought it I never told her. Really wanted to get it back for her. Hope he has some good luck on finding it

Car will be white with red interior, Weld draglites, fiberglass front end.
