I agree Bill. I know that some folks out there love owning "trailer queens", but I'm not one of those folks. Working on them is fun, but taking them out for a drive is validation for all of the hard work you put into a vintage vehicle!

Im building a trailer queen for sure. I want is a nice as possible before I start driving it. Figure it will last longer that way. No way I could spend all these years on it just to look at it.
If you drive it and enjoy doing so Bill, it's not a trailer queen. Building a car as nice as you possibly can within your budget doesn't make it a trailer queen either, as that should be every owners game plan.

its a stock 5.7 now with indy mod man intake for carb, hemi6 ignition, etc...
my plans are cam, springs, long tube headers, put the AC back on it...and drive the wheels off of it at a tune of 425+ hp.
Took Max for a long drive a couple towns over for the first time since overhaul to get some motorcycle parts, it felt so good and tight. Everything went perfect, and it was fairly hot out too so a good test.
I had a guy on a Harley pull up next to me at a light and said "sweet R/T and first one Ive seen with factory disc on the front", I complimented him on a Good Eye. He must be a Mopar guy.
