BO55 if you are in Calne I am about 5 mins away - Marlborough is a lovely drive but the Trowbridge/bristol folks might find it a trek?

Either way there are loads of places local - might be worth having a chat with the lads at Hullavington or even over at RAF Wroughton to see if we can use their retired strips

wikipedia said:

From 1979 to 1985, Chargers of 1968 and 1969 vintage were sourced and converted to General Lee specifications. Despite popular belief, all builders involved over the years, as well as the VIN list supplied to Wayne Wooten of all Chargers used on the show, no 1970 models were ever used. The cars required the entire front clip transplant from a 1968-69 car, which sustained the most damage in the jumps. Obtaining cars was not an issue until later years. By that time the car was the star of the show and Warner Brothers moved building of the cars in-house to keep the cars consistent in appearance. This is when side marker and rear backup lights are seen which were deleted on 1969 models as well as 1968 (seen from the start of the show).


'68 will do just fine. Ill bring the paint and the welding gear...

Well, there's a couple of Chargers, and 308mate as an F150, I guess it's gonna be an "open" meet...what's your ride?
