Wow! What a shock seeing my car on the front cover of the club mag and all the other shots within. Many thanks to the MMA for that and for all the lovely comments about the car. The car took around 18 months to build and what fun it is. Next year should see it much quicker up the strip, hopefully in the 11's but we'll see, maybe even quicker in the future. To be honest i was'nt sure what sort of reaction the car would get when i first brought it out, but everyone seems to love it, particularly young children who love to sit in it and be photographed. When ever you see me at future shows be sure to come and say hello and let your youngsters sit in the car. Well it looks like i'll be at Shakey on the Sunday weather permitting for its last outing this year before a winter re-build so i hope to meet a few of you there. Once again, many thanks for all your help and encouragement and last of all, i must say a big thanks to Andy of 'Challenger Tyres' who sponsored the burnout competition and who donated the 2 huge tyres for my wife's car - cheers mate !!!

I think 2011 will be remembered as the year your car appeared. I can't think of a car more deserving to be on the front cover. I hope you will have it on the club stand at the NEC. It will mate a huge impact.

Best Mopar in UK ( in my opinion ) ... best of luck to you for building it and sharing it with us

Saw it at Brooklands first.

Sounds as good as it looks!

Everything about the car is just.........Right.

I wouldnt change a thing (well apart from the owner...ME!)

A worthy car for many front covers , and maybe the Icon car for MMA?

Congrats!

Hey guys, steady up, i'm fillin' up ere! What lovely comments and a very humble thankyou to you all. Jon, if the 'Bird was anywhere near as quick as your gorgeous Valiant i would be a very happy man! And Sinny, i dont know how to post pics except in a letter box! Dave McB has taken loads of shots, both at the Pod and in my garage at home for a forthcoming feature in Classic American so maybe he can help.

Don, I can't remember, are you on the hit list to be on the MMA stand at the NEC Classic Car Show in November?

If not and you can drag the banger up there and back, please let me know...it's a while since we've had a wing car on the stand!

Hello Ivor, yeah i can drag the ol' banger up there mate, would there be any chance of leaving the trailer there securely and i'll come home and back in the Ram

They have secure parking for the hundreds of trailers you get outside.
