I don’t think I’ve posted this car in a while. Better show it off now before it sells as its currently for sale.

I signed up for the 13.0 bracket class, no clue what the car was going to run. After a couple of horrible launches during testing I was pretty sad. The first round of eliminations I sent it hard on the launch. At this point I didn’t care about bracket racing I only wanted to see how quick the car was so I stayed in it and broke out of eliminations. I was decently pleased with a 11.7 @ 120. There’s more in it but not on that day.

edit June 2016: The 1980 M535i is still in restoration (hell it seems) but I wanted a convertible and found this. It's a 2012 M3 convertible in Speed Yellow
Hey this thread is still here! Sorry my picture links are broken from the very first page, damn website issues.

Here is how my 1980 BMW M535i turned out. And I still have the yellow M3.

Since it has been a couple years I thought I better update my car. This year I attended the NSRA Street Rod Nations in Louisville Ky. Boy did I not fit in there.

Had this '66 Bus for 34 years now, bought it three days after my 17th birthday - it was double side-swiped and had a seized motor; people thought I was crazy to have spent $600 for it in late '89.

After decades of slumber in my garage, the Charger is getting transported to the bodyman's shop for interior/exterior sheetmetal work and paint. It's going to be gone for a long time, but it will look very different when it's done. Sad to see "Grendel" get towed away, but fun to watch people driving by slow down to have a look.

?

During my "The Dukes of Hazzard" research bitd, they butchered '68-'70 Chargers. Some episodes can clearly see round running/tail lights ('68). And I guess they chopped some front ends or swapped fenders to work around the '70 loop grille/bumper. Etc, etc, etc.......and don't pretend like that show wasn't AWESOME!

But also, I am stoked as well that you are finally getting to go on your Charger! Had a '69 Super Bee back in '96. 383, 727 TF, Raisin Bran hood, ram air, white w/red stripe. It was from Alaska, originally, so it was super F'd in all the typical spots...trunk floor: F'd, floor pan(s): F'd, rear 1/4's around the glass: F'd. I did the kid just out of the Army leave it under a tarp in your parent's driveway bit until I just realized that I needed to send it to a good home. Time, space, and funding caught up with me.
Hope you're doin' something fun.
