No more restorations for sure ! I picked up a beautiful red 1968 dart GTS convertible . Loaded and all numbers matching. I'm going to cruise the country side with it in my retirement days. Having Fun Now !!

SOLD .............. Well , I was sorry to see the 1954 dodge pace car leave , but I had a blast restoring her. Enjoyed every moment of the restoration. Went to a Great guy that Loves Mopars .

couple pics where I met Dennis Gage ." My Classic Car " @ .Elkhorn car show & swap meet .2016 .

ok. makes sense .

yeah,,,, there is a bunch off posts about installing my 10.1 high compression pistons in the 241 hemi. The pistons made a huge difference. don't know if I was being video taped when dennis gage was talking to me. I did not see his cameraman anywhere.but then again I was looking and talking to dennis.

Dodge City "under the lights" car show is aug 19th 2016 If you can make it .

very cool Merle ! Say Merle , I'll see you at dodge city "under the lights " . john

Hi Merle I was at the huge elkhorn car show near east troy. saturday. where I met dennis . He was out riding around with one other guy and it looked like a tripod camera of some some sort in the back of his golf cart . no footage was shot . his camera man I did not see around . dennis drove away by him self in the golf cart afterwards.

update : august 9 2016 . my 1954 dodge royal 500 indy pace car is running great ! The hemi is running stronger every time I take it out..Huge improvement with the updated High compression 10.1 venoila pistons . I met at the show , MY CLASSIC CAR host "Dennis Gage " . He loved my car and said he never seen a car like mine before . come to think of it ................I've watched quite a few of his shows and I never seen a 1954 convertible dodge either. let alone a pace car like mine .

Time to get the old girl out for 2016. here are a few more pics .

Greetings ! You could register with Facebook........ there is a special site there called "1953/54 dodge cars" . You can post your wanted items there also . check it out .

UPDATE ON THE BACK UP LIGHT SWITCH ............. well ............that is another thing checked off the to do list .. That is what was wrong >>> faulty switch on the trans. All good to go now.

One more respond about my powerflite at the forwardlook site ........... Comment >>>>>>>>>I've run across several examples where the casting dates and part numbers don't agree. I believe (and I'm just spitballing here) that this is due to parts room replacement transmissions being built at a later date to replenish supplies of earlier transmissions. IOW, the transmission plant used a 1955 casting date case to build a replacement '53-'54 transmission. Thanks ALL ! -----
