I would like to come visit your track in the not too distant future.

My favorite 1970 hood: https://www.aarqualityfiberglass.com...-1974-aar-bolt

You MUST attend SFSF IX! Link in case you do not know what I speak of:

My car is about 2 years older, and a little smaller, previous generation fish. Currently under construction.

68cuda,

also my favorite hood! im not new to mopars been around them all my life my 70 challenger was in mopar muscle for the 2011 true street challenge.

been to the spring speed festival problem i have with it is how much they charge to run for the day i can get a better deal from other companies that run in the redline time attack events which is what this car will be doing. but also a great street daily driver cant stand trailer queens.

trailer queens... me neither. I was thinking of driving there, from my house in Plano, TX. Roll out there for the track event, go to Spring Fling, then the following weekend is usually Mopars at the strip in Vegas. I don't know if April is realistic though. It would probably take at least a week or two to put this thing back together. Problem is that week will come an hour or two at a time and there are a few parts left to source.

Actually, driving to the Mopar Nats is a more realistic timeline and an easier drive. Plano to Rosamond is 1400 miles, a good part of that is along the old route 66. That is a lot of open road. Pretty boring drive really. Driving to Heath, Ohio for the Mopar Nats is about 1000 miles and an easier drive.
