I have more on actual film Wayne. Right around 98/99? I transitioned to digital cameras and have pretty much gone through the digital archives. A few of these are scans of photos. I need to get a film scanner so I can get everything archived.

I only ever had one video (VHS) of my Dodge at NED. I left it with Ben Therien because he wanted to make a copy and i never saw it again.
If you do get that converted, I'd be interested in having some of the files. I have a copy of Gus' racing ledger for Slug. I don't think i have a complete copy for Mini.

**mopar-tech** · 02-15-2015, 04:34 PM

You know I may have a video I converted for Gus, I'll look later today.

**mopar-tech** · 02-15-2015, 07:32 PM

Here you go Wayne, a tape I digitized for Gus.

**cordes** · 02-15-2015, 07:51 PM

Wow. Talk about ahead of his time. Knocking them out one after the next while driving a 4cyl turbo and video taping the whole time. Nice.

**dwh4784** · 02-15-2015, 08:02 PM

That's a cool video! And is that "Butch" a few posts back with the red Daytona the same Butch that ended up with a red Firebird (or TA?)? Did that Daytona end up getting wrecked? That's basically when I first found these forums (allpar I think) straight out of high school.

That was really cool! Trip down memory lane. Even one of my Spirit early on.
Relentless really needs a return also...

Its coming Wayne, its coming.

I'm finishing up on the '71 in the next 2 weeks and then the Dart is on deck, after that we start pulling wrenches on the Reliant.

The '71 we had to pull apart the engine to replace 2 valves, replaced all the valve springs, painted the motor the correct color, redid the front seats and repaired the headliner. Car has been sitting in the garage for over a year and a half. Still have to paint and change out the dash pad and fix a half dozen fairly minor things.

Engine for the Dart is already in the workshop waiting to be assembled.

**wheming** · 02-16-2015, 08:36 AM

Looks like things are progressing nicely.

**2.216VTurbo** · 02-16-2015, 10:59 AM

Great pics Gary

Thanks for keeping them safe all these years

The one where there's 5 guys standing, who's the skinny guy on the left with all the hair??

Not only did Slug go three for three that day but Gus tree'd each one of them

!

If you ever travel to SoCal again, you and yours have a place to stay and since I have my own place now-I won't even need permission

. ThanksGiving Christmas whenever

Speaking of the trip to California... Thanks for the hospitality Alan! Enjoy the images, I don't know if I ever sent them too you.

Holy cow! Is that a 94 Escort wagon in that pic facing out to the street? Those were the days...

**mopar-tech** · 02-16-2015, 06:31 PM

Here are four more Wayne, up in the Valley.

**wheming** · 02-16-2015, 08:37 PM

Three more Wayne.

**wheming** · 02-17-2015, 07:02 PM

Wow, those last few were quite a while back. Gus still had his old GLH-t.

**Vigo** · 02-18-2015, 12:50 AM

Huh, i never thought to bolt an engine to the stand sideways like that. Good idea, Younger Alan!

Thanks for posting up these old pics, Gary D. I wish more stuff from the older days was still alive on the internet. There's a lot of enthusiast history with these cars that never made it into the 'digital age'.
