Re: The Escalantes '70 Challenger R/T "EL HEMI"
The note to "piston #1" is just plain unforgetable. How cool is that?

Re: The Escalantes '70 Challenger R/T "EL HEMI"
Just an incredible story and so neat to see the dedication to the vehicle (and its original owner) that the family maintains. Welcome and we hope to see and hear a lot more from you, Juan!
Especially meaningful to me as I spent 7 years restoring a 70 Hemi Challenger that was about 200 cars ahead of yours on the assembly line (mine was VIN sequence 186914)

PM some pictures. Love to see it? I suppose it was built on or close to NOV. 11.

Re: The Escalantes '70 Challenger R/T "EL HEMI"
Love the car and story of El Hemi. So sorry about the loss of your dad - I too lost a father who died way too young due to pancreatic cancer - a cruel killer.
