TJ is a super nice guy. I remember meeting him in Atlanta in around 2001 or 2002. Hated to see him lose his ride. Some cool guys on your list Mike.

That was spectacular, thanks for video!! :props:

Definitely is the biggest idol of mine and a huge pioneer in NHRA Championship Drag Racing. Ive been racing since I was 8 years old running Jr Dragters and have won many track and national championships and hope to one day get somewhere close to his level.

went nuts when he got out of the dragster. Of all my years racing it was
probably the wildest thing I ever saw.

Confirmed in order of shooting...


Morning
Tom's 1936 Packard
Don's 1934 Ford
Tommy's 1970 1/2 Camaro
Don's Race Car



Afternoon
Richard's 1970 Dodge Challenger
Steve's 1969 Camaro Pace Car
Carlos's 1963 Plymouth Fury
Al's 1959 El Camino


:xyxthumbs:

This is pretty cool, just talked to my friend Carlos and he's confirmed he'll bring his 1963 former drag car, a yellow 1963 Plymouth Fury that's all original including a 440 Wedge Engine with the original dual quad carburetors.

He says he also has a picture of him and Don together by the car from years ago...


This is not his car but one I found on the Internet till I can get an actual picture of his car...

Here's something cool about these cars, they had push-button shifters on the dash...

The 'Cuda isnt completely finished yet..Im finishing up gathering interior parts for the car to complete it but as most people know the 1971 'Cuda was different then all the rest in a few minor ways that make a HUGE difference in prices. Im searching for a dash pad that isnt cracked because a new one is $900..I will get some pictures of the dart when it returns from paint...:dblthumb2: Im a die-hard old school Mopar fan..From the mighty 340 six-pack cars all the way up to the 426 max wedge cars, 440 six-pack cars and of course the Power House 426 HEMI!!! If you want I can gather some pictures of the race truck i built for my sister. Its a 1992 Dodge Dakota converted from a 6cyl 5spd to a 1968 340 small block chrysler with a 904 three speed auto. My brother in law put his own custom paint job on it which consists of all candy colors.
