From Moparmax; How many club members noticed that there wasn't even a President's letter for June? I have been on several road trips myself so far this year and more to come. This letter will review a few items, and update others, and discuss future events, mainly the Mini-Nats. Many of us went to the Mopar Magic show in Shreveport earlier this year. We had a very good show, and a good time. On the same date was the Cowtown show in Fort Worth. Only Patrick went. We had something like 10 entries for the Magic show. Next year we want those two shows on different weekends. The Texas Muscle Car Club Challenge events are in full swing. This season started with rainouts, but is in good shape now. The Kiepersol Winery road trip in conjunction with the Magic club was rained out. Before I could get that show rescheduled it was decided to postpone until early next year. Additionally, we hope to do another road trip some time to the Viper facility owned by Wayne Rauh, again in the Tyler area. On May 6th, our club met up with the Lonestar Region Plymouth Club in Hillsboro, at the Roadside America Museum. Thanks to Wayne Plets we had a good time, lunch, meeting, and made friends. This Saturday, June 24th, we are asking our club members to return to the same location for a 200+ car show. I have been in communication with Lydia and Chris from the Cowtown club. We hope to finalize a date in August to hold our first joint picnic for many many years. This cruise season I am sure that a lot of us have been attending shows, and the few that we want to suggest have been doing well. We are oh so close to rolling out the new version of our club web site. It will be more interactive, updatable more easily by our people, and contain accurate, up to date information. It will make it so much easier to communicate information to the club. Mainly, it will allow me to stop sending out all those emails, as everything that club members will need to know will on the web site. Tracy continues to handle our club newsletter. As mentioned many times, Tracy is constantly looking for articles, pics, anything to put into the newsletter. Bill has been working with Gabby on the latest club jacket. Jerry is working hard on this years Mini-Nats. There will be changes. It will be more streamlined, and easier for the judging, classification, and communication during the show. We will have the old food

vendor, and the sound system better utilized. Finally, for now, on the Mini-Nats, we will have a better experience for those who volunteer to help. Online registration will begin July 15th. Note; July 8th weekend will be busy. The Hemi Hideout event near Houston hosted bythe Cowtown club will take place. There will be a big car show in Sachse. We have our board meeting, and the next day is our monthly meeting. We have officially changedthe regular monthly board meeting to Saturday mornings. We found a fine new location to hold the meetings in Farmersville. And last, but certainly not least, we have many new club members, and I am personally again thanking Mr. Mike Boyd, and Mr. Ron Petrasek for graciously becoming board members with the club as Directors. Bob O. remains a Director. And Brad Buttermore, is now our official, first, Assistant Treasurer. Thanks for all your assistance this year so far. Thanks to Lee Elms for a lifetime assisting our club.

Grille
Barracuda - A paint that you can get over the counter that looks very close to original argent paint for
these argent grilles is "Plasti-Kote PL-285 cast finish." This is different from the dark argent you get
from most places. Please do understand that the barracuda grilles should be medium argent looking
NOT light argent. Dave Wise describes in his manual (Finer Points of Mopar E Body) in 1970 the
grille was medium argent and in 1971 it was a neutral argent with some being painted body color (71
'Cuda only). 71 'Cuda painted grilles were available in FJ6, GY3, FC7, GW3, EV2, GB5, GF7, GK6
and FE5. These grilles were standard on 'Cuda through build date 8/8/70. After this date the color
keyed grilles were optional. 1971 Barracuda's did not have color keyed grilles. 1972-74 Barracuda
center of headlight rings are painted flat black. The inside right/ left of the grille paint black and the
outer perimeter is painted in redish flat paint. The grille should be panted in argent silver. 1970-71
Challenger Non R/T and T/A grills are painted argent. The egg crate center is natural egg crate color
not cast or black on all 1970 Challenger models. 1970-71 Challenger R/T and T/A outside portion of
the grills are black. 1972-74 Challenger grilles headlight ring center section are chrome plated. The
inside of the grille should be painted black for the rallye model and argent for the base model. The
outside edge should be painted argent silver. The lower grills were available in argent silver only but
have been found in natural grey/silver.
