Getting a real launchpad!

Finally after years of saving and keeping the wife away from it. The workmen showed up and the Challenger will have a nice place to do a burnout but no shut down area. :mrgreen:

Another, the right side goes in today. 6" Heavy Duty with steel reinforcement and tapered for drainoff, high density concrete! Perfect for burnouts! :twisted:

That concete pad is going to be big enough to build another house on. :lol:

Eddie won't need a snow shovel. He will just open the garage door and let the sweet hot exhaust from his big block Mopar do all of the work. :thumbsup:

Besides at $3.00 a gallon of gas who could afford to fill up a snow blower.

Looks great Eddie.

Now you're talking RedRaven :nod:

My wife and mother-in-law (both car and truck nuts, they really like Eddie's black 4x4) both think that if I just buy a big shop or warehouse and put living quarters in corner, like in the movie Wanted: Dead or Alive, I'd be a happy camper. Not saying I disagree though :mrgreen:

Thanks guys I really needed this done. It would get very dusty from all the white rock flying around. Think I should put a Chrondek near the street? :biggrin:

Here it is all done! Those dudes wanted to see my Challenger and I obliged, they told me to be careful until Fri. tonight is Halloween and all the kiddies are coming over for Candy! Looks like I'll be busy tonight watching horror flicks and keeping kids off the wet concrete. :biggrin:

Last, Thanks for the compliments guys, It needs desperately to have dual black marks in molten rubber on it! :mrgreen:

Your lucky to have a wife and mother in law that likes cars and trucks Barc. Here is another pic for her. Someday that 512 Sixpack Stroker is going home. I forsee this vehicle as it's new home! :thumbsup:

That is a very nice truck. On another board they state that there's a Rod Hall truck, #010, for sale is Carson City Nev.
After the stroker goes in why settle for two black streaks when you'll be able to make four :s003:

You got that right Bro! :thumbsup:

BTW, when I ordered mine in 89 I didnt know about the Rod Hall trucks. Damn it! In retrospect, I wish I had have ordered a 3/4 ton Cummins 5 speed 4x4 standard cab with the snow plow prep and camper group. This would have given me a NP205 Geared transfer case and the Dana 70.

The concrete is dry now. I had to stay outside for a few hours last night, throwing candy at the kiddies for helloween. I had the whole front of the yard/concrete marked off with those crime scene yellow tape ribbon! It looked a murder scene! It attracted more kids! Dahmit! :lol:
