Very cool pictures Juan. That must have been fun for you. Also, it was nice meeting you in person at the MCACN Show. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Good to meet you guys. Loved the Day Two look on both of your cars (Sam &amp; Kurt). Sam..the story on Roof's Deuce is awesome. The cars at MCACN were great...their stories even better. Met the flying Dutchman who put me in touch with Sam Scardino and i scored a vintage flex-a-lite fan i'd be looking for years. Thank you guys!

Below a picture of Jose (my father) circa 1971. Check out the Mr. Norm's t-shirt.

We were very happy to receive the Celebrity Pick Award from Mr. Norm's. This one for you Jose! http://i961.photobucket.com/albums/a...esized-1-1.jpg

Mr. Norm's pointing to the original sticker they put on the car in 1970.

Well done Juan. What a family heirloom.

You gotta post that new pic of the car outside what was Mr. Norm's over on moparts.com or cuda-challenger.com. Those guys would get a kick out of that.

Way to go.

Very cool Juan...your car was beautiful in person!

Re: The Escalantes '70 Challenger R/T "EL HEMI"
 

Ditto on that!

And when you put the car, the family and the story together it is likely bare none one of the neatest stories and cars I have seen in 20 years!!!! Awesome!
