Jeff and Zac; I'm really pleased it found such a good home. Will try to venture up in D3 with my next car and see it in action again. If my new car requires a makeover I'll be sure to give you a call!

Real nice Job , Car looks great ..... Now enjoy it ...

Re: Mopar Makeover
 

Wow! I knew Jim had the car for sale but I didn't know it was gone. You got a super deal. She looks great! No wonder he wasn't at the last SSSSA race in Orlando. I guess that makes me the only F Body MoPar left in D2. Jim

Car looks cool and clean!

I think that is the car Jeff Mc Kenny and Paul Boster built, but that was years ago and I'm old, I could be wrong.

Re: Mopar Makeover
 

Jeff and Zac, the car looks great. Your whole family/team always have had great looking cars (I really like Al's new paint on the Challenger). Are you guys coming to Quaker this weekend?

When Wayne Gooden had the Volare that Scott Macy drives for Ernie Humes now, the back of his trailer said "World's Fastest I/CM Volare". I guess I have the world's fastest GT/HA 5.9L DragPak-powered '80 Volare. :p 1 of 1. Collector's item.

Re: Mopar Makeover
 

That is one slick car. When Bob Kammer built that car it was run as a 77 or 78. He then changed the front clip to make it a 80. That car was built like an early Pro Stock car the way the rollbar tied into the round tube frame ties. Bob told me he peeled the quarters back some so he could get the frame ties way back into the factory frame rail in the rear. He also told me the car was 300 lbs light for the class the first time he took it out. I love F body cars, and have followed this one over the years. You have a good car there, and I hope to see it again at Mason-Dixon this fall. Kammer build some good engines back then too. I set a couple of records with his stuff, and I always went through tech!.The car looks better than before, good luck with it. Nice lettering too!
