Picture this if you would say a first gen charger front bumper or not the grille ?
The grille is not stock and the car I think is too new for a g***er and that is not what I am going for just trying to put it on a diet.

 

If you can pull the bumper without it looking weird,do it.
If it looks weird but you like it,do it!

Did you see the ot 68 charger in Hot Rod a dozen years back that was built for top speed runs?It had a fabricated grille,and looked very Nascar-meets-MadMax.

I think mine might get a f/g front bumper this week.

My front bumper is kind of beat up **** who am I kidding my whole car is beat up.
It looks ok without it but looks like it can scoop up some air.

 

Did some tuning on the wagon this weekend and have been driving it ever since. It is sitting out in the parking lot at work right now.

 

malibumonte you going to be camping like in your avatar ?

 

You need a big yellow accel coil and wires...then maybe a mullet wig.lol

I really don't care what the engine looks like as long as she is ready for the trip.

Made a call to Quain this morning...I think it's pretty cool that aguy who has his experience is so down to earth...he gave me a few things to try...I feel his ideas are right on. I'm not looking to set records, but hit on all eight and be in the ballpark would be nice.lol

That's the plan, just get there, and sweat the small details later!

 

Yes camping, but unfortunately not that cool. I will be sleeping in a modern tent. I planned on roadtripping the car up there but the summer heat has me reconsidering. I have decided that I will be towing.

 

A little comedy relief for all you guys. As in previous nights, Marc and I were out in my garage until 12:30 AM, bolting some more parts in our old crate. Apparently while we weren't looking, a Possum snuck into the garage.., ask me how I know? Well I'll tell ya how I know! This morning, I go to the garage to get our dog some food out of the Minnie, steel trash can we keep it in, and soon as I open the door, the garage floor looks like someone spilled some motor oil, an did a ****py job cleaning it up. I look down at the friggen can, and its got oily paw prints all over it. Apparently the first thing the little creep did upon entering the sanc***y of our garage (un-invited I might add) was to do the fricken back stroke in a pan full of dump oil from my Suburban, then he "Etchosketched" his little paw prints/signature all over the garage, stopping and dripping anywhere he thought there might be a way out. He finally found the dog food can, but his nasty little claws were all slicked down with used 5W/30 Mobil 1 Synthetic, so he couldn't get a grip on the lid. Thank God he didn't climb up in the '56 (the trans tunnel is still off) and do some oily break dancing inside, before settling down for the night. He must not be too stupid, cause it appears he also molested a few shop rags during his midnight foray through the garage. If we didn't already have a name on the '56, we might be calling it.., "The Petrol Possum"! I didn't actually see him run out this morning when I opened the garage doors, while yelling expletives at him and banging on stuff to scare him out, but I hope he did vamoose, otherwise, the little creep might try to jump me tonight, on the continuation of..,"Mission Impossumble"

 

Panneton. I'm tracking you down at the Meltdown and buying you a beer for all of your amusing posts.

I got to enjoy *****y mustache wearing Nuns jamming proper English, pronunciation & sentence diagraming etc. down my throat the entire miserable time, I even got shangehaied into 3 years of typing in high school. I never imagined it would earn me a frosty beverage in Byron Illinois in late July of 2014..,but I'll take it!

Ya man! I think your on to something, if not that, maybe there's a Micro Brewery out there with some *****ie Possum or Oily Nun.

 

After 2000 miles and about 30 hours of driving, we're gonna need a beer...or maybe just a place to lie down! Oh, wait, we're drivin' a motor home with places to lie down included...phew! Actually we'll be so jacked up about just bein' there, we may pull the car outta the trailer and go straight to the staging lanes! :-D Looks like we're pickin' up our Uncle Russ, who's really more like an older brother, in Cheyenne, WY on the way, he's been known to enjoy some suds from time to time too! If youngest brother Jason can escape from work, we'll have the Panneton Bros. there in full force!

 

i got just the thing for those pesky critters its called a mossberg 500. it works great on all kinds of uninvited guests two or four legged. they make the best door greeters they are cheap and reliable.the last uninvited possum got his skull crushed with a 2x4. there would have been too much of a chance for ricochet inside the shop. the new date for the dyno session will be next thurs stay tuned.

 

Motor home is the way to travel dont have to stop for the pisser but the fuel cost hits hard.
I am on the hunt for a fuel sponsor for the trip.

I got the new dist to damn shiny for me having trouble trying to figure out where it goes.

 

Ya the gas bill is gonna sting, especially considering a best average of 9-10 mpg if we let Dale Jr. do the drafting, and leave the A/C off half the time. The shiny dizzy goes in the same hole the old Mopar unit came out of.

 

The damn thing is going to look like top fuel on it.

 

err what?

 

I was talking about how tall the dist body is that thing is going to be standing proud.
Kind of reminds me of those big mags on those top fuel cars.

 

Ohh right, got ya.

 

The Panneton Possum Pages..,continued,
Well, looks like the little ******* is still camped out in our garage. I elected to trade a night of wrenching for a night of "chicka chicka bow wow" if you know what I mean. This morning, out to the garage for dog food, and more evidence of possum foolery.., ****, and the garage is taking on a nice picante of vermitt musty piss smell, ratchefratchinfricken******* pesky possum beatch! Well our dog is a Border Terrier (we call him a border terrorist) little bad ***. I let him him have a sniff around this morning, and pretty sure he found the "hiding spot"! Tonight I'm turning him loose, if the little creep didn't already vacate ( I left the doors open this morning while getting ready for work). I think the little dumb *** is sleeping in the morning (as possums do) while I'm trying to rustle his little stow away *** out) he may just get his *** stomped by Ollie the fang fantastico!

 

We calls'em "Grinners" round these parts....

 

Shoot Redline, I figure up your way you called em "dinners".

 

Wooo, woooooo, Redline Racerrrr, this is the ghost of smack talk past, woooooo, yer *** is graaa***sssss, WOOOOOOOO!
