Is anyone else "touchy" about their Mopar? (long rant...)
I know guys that pay for everything and are very knowledgeable and have really nice cars AND are super cool....they just dont have the time or drive to do it themselves....that said....
My second "A body" was a 65 lemans (yes I know, a ponti-knocker) but my story is as follows....(love the digging up of an ol thread especially since it was dug by the OP)
I was in Bend OR at the 'Tiger Run' and the schedule was ...Early guys got there on Wed and there was bench racing...Thurs night was drags out on the Butte....Fri night was the titty bar....Sat night more street drags....and Sun we went to 1/8 mile in Madras to back up all the previous **** talking. Well on one of the nights either bench racing night or pre street drags, I had my hood off and granted there was nothing special about my car. It was a 455 with a Doug nash 4+1 crash box, 12 bolt spool, and 100 shot of N02. Rattle can in my driveway. tempest grill and stripped of weight. One of the 'nice fellers' strolled by and commented on my 'christmas tree' looking engine compartment. It absolutely was. wires everywhere. It was my second build and kind of really my first as I sold a real GTO not wanting to cut it up, so I got the shitbox instead. Well short version.....I squeezed him second round on Sun.
