Re: The Escalantes '70 Challenger R/T "EL HEMI"
Good to meet you guys. Loved the Day Two look on both of your cars (Sam & 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!  Mr. Norm's pointing to the original sticker they put on the car in 1970.

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

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!
