Eye Candy

Some cars that a friend has been working on. He is semi retired and works on only MOPAR muscle in his own shop at his leisure. He's very meticulous and has a deep love for these cars. I love going to his place and working on my (or rather help him work on my car haha) car and looking at all the stuff he's doing. He just finished the 70 RT Chally - it's a U code 440 car that the owner decided to put the quarter scoops on and add a six pack. The original motor was stroked to a 493. The pink 70 TA which I thought was in pretty good shape was stripped and painted and now he's finishing the assembly. The 70 Grand Coupe is done with paint and body work and now the customer (since he saw the 70 chally completed) has decided to pull out the drive train and detail the suspension..think this car will be for sale when complete. I know the owner and this is one of his 30 or 40 that he has...I lost track of what he has. He was a customer of mine at the store...I used to build him some knarly turbocharged Yamaha sleds in excess of 400 hp...I used to own a motorsports dealership (Yamaha-Kawasaki-Honda) - sold it after 13 years - been there done that so to speak.

Cool stuff. I had a few friends that were into those turboed sleds for the mountains as well.

Wow, Very impressive!

Did you invite him to join our forum? With his knowledge, he'd be a great member.

" That's a sterling idea and we can only hope the man actually does it. Neat shop and great cars, too!

He's just not that type a guy...seems to think everyone has their own opinion and couldn't be bothered. I have asked him before. He doesn't spend time on the internet. He orders everything through parts catalogs and phone. Drives to Eureka, Montana to pick his parts up to save on shipping etc. He's an old school guy and I kind of like that about him. We're in Alberta Canada. I sure have met a lot of local Mopar people through him though and learned a ton of stuff.
