Doug Almond & Loré Arens

[Tony Leong]

Seen both their rides at Mopar Madness at the George Preston Arena (corner 208th Street and 42nd Ave in Langley) on Sunday 10 July 2011.  

Loré, nice work in the engine bay.  Also Doug, pulled the doughnuts/Timbits off his front brakes and put on some SheelaK, powder coated calipers.

Both 2Gbs were registered for the show.

I saw your Talon too, Tony. We came a bit later.

[Loré Arens]

What did you guys think about the show
We had just under 200 cars last year, this year just about 250.

I was stuck at registration for most of the show
then spent the next hour, counting ballots

Looked like a great show!!

Doug what did you get in your goodie bag?

As a former Mopar fan from my high school days, I loved seeing the old and the new Mopars.  Some of those Owners created professional works of art, for example, one Owner got his Shaker hood to feed cold air to his K&N via a series of chambers, and it looked like it was a factory option.  One Owner had to have stripped a '70 'Cuda down to the bare metal in order to apply that fresh, orange paint even in the engine bay there was no rust or dust.

When I saw a '63 Valiant with a push-button transmission, I went in search of a '64 Valiant with the same, but no luck.  Fond memories of a '64!

How about the 300 or charger with the lambo doors
and what about that paint job

It was pretty good show, we had fun. ;
