Road Runner Nest

Funniest comment all day was when I opened the hood to my car to display the 440+6... a teenager to the left of me asked what I paid for the Optima battery in the car. Confronted with a 440+6 and all he can comment on is the cheap Advance Auto battery I have in the car?

Notice in the last photo I got a pic of Dale taking a pic of me taking a pic...

Finally home and downloaded the photos from the REAL camera instead of just from the phone that I posted earlier. :beer: Dale's is a cool car, he's owned it for 21 years, numbers 383 in it with Eldebrock heads, and he's put 40,000 miles on the car since redoing it. It has been to the Nats, Carlisle,...

Finally got Dale Mathews' and my white '71s together at the Petty Garage show today. Been trying to do this for quite a while...

Such a cool twist on the Sundance stripes!

Did someone say Halloween interior? Yeah man, repaint that car ORANGE as it was intended--that would be my dream Road Runner right there!

Rockin'! Wish I could be there. Hope it's a huge success for you!

Oh, and yeah, this is a later model bezel in my '71. It's the only NOS piece I could find to replace the original that the original owner drilled holes in to mount a vacuum gauge right where the radio would have been.

A Road Runner without a radio? Never heard of such a thing!

Nope, no stamp on the trunk gutters if our cars...

WOW, did this show ever come fast and go by even quicker! Must mean I was having fun!!! For anyone who didn't get to go, or who hasn't seen it, be sure to go to the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals Facebook page and check out the INSANE video of Ralph Gilles absolutely FRYING the tires off a new Hellcat....

I'll be there again in my spot in the US Car Tool tent next to the T Building. Really looking forward to it!

Wow, nice car! Here in North Carolina that would be called "Carolina Blue".

Edited for accuracy. It's funny, I grew up with these cars, but Dave and Eric know the minutiae far better than I.

Welcome!
