[QUOTE=Jeff Teuton;153016]Ok, mine is @ B & B race cars in Tenn. I am working on two 5.9 for stock and ss. We will also work on the dyno on the 6.1 and 5.7. I already got lots of stuff for the driveline. We will use a 8 3/4 742 case with the special Jim Bailey treatment. We are going to paint it B5 (1970) and it will look like the 2010 Classic Pkg on the Challenger. No Decals.
Plan on running in H/SA unless with the large driver it goes into I/SA. We already got the Fast system working on our GT/FA but we don't think we are even close to the bottom. It is # 16. B & B will do the cage, rear axle, rear brakes and some other stuff. My body shop will paint the car. That's my blog. I'm too old to blog. I am not too old, however, to drink beer.[/QUOTE]

I just returned form Livonia from getting mine.... I'm STILL trying to get over the 18 hour return trip... Left there Tuesday morning at 7:30 am and pulled into central Florida at 3:30 am on Wednesday... I like Jeff am too old to do this or blog... But, I'm very excited to start on #43 next week..... Takash Race Craft in Orlando is doing all my chassis work. Still discussing paint. Have the FAST system, Aeromotive fuel system, Billet Wheels and Hoosier tires..... Plan on A/SA........ More as we go!!!!!

Yes you are right... But, I have never been a blue guy but I do have a "plan" to take advantage of the "special" number of my car..... But keeping that under my hat right now.....

Anybody know who got # 50?.........the one that makes all the others legal.

Chris "drooze" Wertman · 12-05-2009, 10:13 AM

Good question, and one I want to know as well, I am starting another thread for this reason.

If you know who has what car please add to it.
