    Let's get something going on this site!

    Hey all!
    Just trying to breath some life into this site. What is new? What has everyone been up to this summer? Any cool car shows you went to or planning on going to? New car mods? Not much for me. Planning on going to the Moon Township Park cruise on the 29th. That is a great show! As far as mods, nothing this year except for a double din car stereo with touch screen and Apple Car Play. I know, nothing exciting but my car is a 100% cruiser now and will never see the track again. Car is getting too old (just like me)!

    Nothing terribly exciting here on the car event front, just working like a mad man. Have changed some cars around (shocking)
    Currently have a 2020 challenger 50th anniversary widebody shaker scat pack and the lightning I got last year. Mrs splits her time between explorer st in winter and a 2007 corvette convertible. Want to take scat to the track one time this fall.

    Cam,
    You are really digging the Mopars lately. I will admit, they are pretty cool! Do you still have the GT500?

    I've had nothing new to add other than chipping away at car. I did get the driveshaft today. A 3.5" chromoly from Strange with 1350 Spicer u-joints. Just need to keep focus get more done when I can and not get interrupted by other things but it is stupid close.

    Almost done with swapping engines in my 61 Chevy. Should be able to fire it up for the first time after another night or two in the garage.

    It's mobile now. Just need to figure out a tuning issue. Still has the 4.10's. Son wanted to try it with those first but it won't take long until we swap yours in.

    Not much new here, just been out driving the car here and there. No mods really planned for it, just enjoy it as-is. Just had it out earlier today.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    That is where I am at with mine. Just cruising it and enjoying it the way it is. Hard to believe they are becoming classics!

    That is an awesome garage! I have to admit, I am a little jelly! (Except if that was my setup, it would be filled with Fords :))

    Killer shop buddy!! What are the dimensions and wall height? Any chance you went with radiant heat in the floor?
