The only time he trailed the Charger was to Columbus, other than that it's been driven. That was the car that really turned me on to Mopar. Built cheap and it went fast. Plus, who doesn't like the looks of a second generation Charger?

I didn't mean that you buddy trailered his car , I was just saying that I hate it when people do all this work in building one and then they just get trailered from show to show . These cars where meant to be driven . Hell , I remember driving my Charger to work on a regular basis when the weather was good . Duel quads and all . :)

I got ya bear, I was just pointing out that he does actually drive his cars, just not very often anymore. He liked it when we drove around in a pack, 3-4 cars going wherever. It's boring if he's by himself. Me, I love driving as a lone wolf.

Yes Bear, Bob and our grand daughter ride for hours every day for the past two weeks, no riding bikes today, we are taking a road trip in the 55 north on a different state route today and onto a casino. Today is going to be 80 degrees and then a heat wave starts here tomorrow.

I kind of like running solo myself , well me and my copilot , my wife . If I'm with other cars , I'm the kind of guy that's likes to play here and there at stop lights . We've been invited on a few cruise's , but I've found that people now a days just like to cruise and kind of say "look at me" rather then drive there cars the way they were meant to be driven and we found our selves board when we tried that . We were in back of a "sick" 66 Belvedere , ex race car on the way back from a car show a couple of weeks ago . A "really" nice car . Me being me thought we could maybe have some fun on the way back . But he drove that car like an old man . Top speed was around 30 MPH , for any lil bump , he would come to a complete stop and then idle around or over it , real slow off of any stop light or turn . I couldn't wait till I could get away from this friggen car and it's a shame because I love the car it's self . But he don't "drive" it !

"It all started with a small fire under the hood, that led to a complete ground up restoration that got out of control and we somehow ended up with over 1500 rear wheel horsepower, but I drive it every day."
 
Another day in the mid 90's here . Been working on piecing a better cooling system together for the Warlock . Just realized even more stuff of mine was stolen , from when it was in one of my storage areas . Two totes with water pump housings and such . It's been a couple of years since I cleaned them out , but I don't find out exactly what till I'm looking for something that I know I had and isn't there anymore . The list gets longer and longer every time I go to look for something . :mad: I'm also working on another 79 grill that I've had hanging on the wall . If it ends up looking better then the one I have on there now , It'll be going on my truck . Lot's of tapping out dents and straightening out twist . Then on to wet sanding and buffing . We'll see .

Good idea , I find that out of the box these are a lil lean for a built BB Mopar . The electric choke should be nice too , even though I don't use a choke on mine . Just pump it twice and it should start right up for yah ! ;)
