Yeah, there are still lots of them in the SE section of town... I drove through a buddy's neighborhood one day and said I'll bet we see one old mopar per block between Powell and his street... sure enough we passed driveways and streets that had either a Dart, Valiant, Newport, Belvedere, or A-body Barracuda... He thought I had gone nuts... I will probably put together a BBQ this summer so the PDX crowd and the Eugene area have a fairly equal drive to meet up (and my place isn't too far from I-5...), I'll post that later... in the past during the Roberson's 'Show and Shine we used to do it, but things got a bit busy here recently... FYI, -D.Idiot |

thanks for your reply dusteridiot! and yes its insane the amount of A bodys in south east and north east! most of them are in poor to insanly bad cond. but there out there .... somewhere. i also put on 3 huge partys in the summer, all slanters all welcome. only problem is i get 4 kegs from bridgeport brewery for each party.so i would reccomend a camp out in my huge yard or hotels. cause friends dont let friends slant and drink. cheers! neil |

I live in Vancouver, I'm down to drink beers and tool around... (Maybe not in that order, but no promises) I think my Dart is the 2 door version of yours. It 's a green 73 also... For some reason, I could be wrong, it seems like the greenies survive longer... I see either dark green or light green darts/valiants around all the time. If you ever want to go to the junkyard, I know one that has a pretty decent group of slants to pick from, although I haven't been there in a while... They got a Demon too and a couple Barracuda's, I even saw some good glass for the Cuda fastback... I missed DI's last spring BBQ when I got a little careless with the hose while washing the car.... soaked my dist and couldn't even get out of town... Looking forward to some get together's this year. |

I will deifintley be on for doing something over the summer. I know DusterIdiot tried to get something together I wasn't able to make. But I would do something in the first two weekends of April. Who's going to be hittin' Woodburn this summer? I'm going to try a couple Fridays before the Mopar show. I got a roomate who talks alot about his 4.0L Ranger that should be a fun race! |

I'm hoping to get up to the Friday test & tunes at Woodburn. Someday I'd like to be able to cut consistent lights! DusterIdiot is the Master of the Bar'B'Que!  Give me a call Rob, I'll go in on supplies for a Slant Sixer's Bar'B'Que this year! That's a fun time!  CJ |

DI's house is right off the I-5. DI- If you have another spring bbq, I'll throw in on food too. Midi- Book online with Red Lion and use the code, "FFR" to get a HUGE discount on pretty nice rooms. |

Funny thing happened a few days back... my dad upgraded to a 'huge' BBQ with all the stainless stuff... so he brings over his 2 year old char-broil BBQ, and it's twice the size of my old grill.... I guess that means we'll have to have a larger party, eh?  Quote: and a cab so i can have a few pints.
I guess we could arrange some Hyperpak Cab service, as long as you don't have to utilize the 'purge' port....  -D.Idiot |

kick arse DI, it's great to have a bigger better BBQ! one of my neighbors gave me a huge webber grill and the tools to go with it. before i had some junky tiny one that could only do 2 steaks. now i can do 3 whole salmons and a few steaks! no purge port! i'm solid. plus we will be so busy talking slants & a bodys that i will prolly have a "slant" six pack or less. thx for that code SwingLo73 i'll check it out. anyways cheers and have a great weekend guys! |

I want to chip in here and ask a favor. I make a trip to Oregon just about every summer. Last year I timed it to coincide with the second Medford race. If you'll give me as much notice ahead of time as possible I'd like to crash this party. |

Welcome aboard Cudaboy! The BBQ hasn't happened yet for this year, so your in good shape! I might have to break the BBQ out this weekend for the R&R-fest going on at my place. MiDi and I should be able to get my engine and tranny installed Saturday. Anybody else coming over to lend a hand?  CJ |

Hi Cudaboy! Welcome to your new obsession..  Ceej, sounds fun, I'll give you a call depending on what's going on over here (between my homework and what the group of slant six hooligans I like to call friends have been working on, things may be hectic). Although who knows.. I might just sit on my porch and enjoy a beer and the sun.  Supposed to hit 75 tomorrow!
