Anyone hear from Shakey lately?

[bull]

It's been more than a year since he posted anything and his car looked like it was within a few months of being finished... what happened?

[Tilar]

I just checked a couple of his last posts and came across this.

Great stuff fellas, good to all is well, for the most part!

Although I have not touched my car for quite some time I have still been on "the scene" if you will.  Dodge Don, one of the Moderators at the 1970 Charger Registry, lives just around the corner from me so I was lucky enough to spend some time enjoying his car with him last summer. 

Dodge Don was on just the other day. Maybe he knows whats up.

[bull]

I guess maybe he's just been real busy with his new business.

yep, I was in Vegas and hung out with him a couple years ago.  He has been swamped with starting his own business.

[bull]

What kind of business is it? Never heard.

Now I'm wondering how many people here even know who Shakey is? This place is changing fast.

[skip68]

I miss his "guess where I'm at pictures"     

[Fred]

Yeah, they were fun.

I got as many of them correct as with "Spot the Damn Cat" threads now!

You really ought to invest in a good pair of specs Bryan.     Or maybe you can hook your pc up to your TV screen?

Very true.  Very few left from the old board.

Still waiting on that T-shirt.

Shakey's 'how-to' posts were a big help to me a few years ago.  Wish he would jump back on a get us all updated with whats happening in his life.

[Dodge Don]

Mike has been busy getting a new business off the ground. I see him or his wife every once in awhile since our youngest kids have skating lessons at the same time.

Nothing new on his Charger.

I'll let him know you guys are thinking of him.

Agreed, tremendous help!

I printed many of his posts to take in the garage. Much kudos to him as building a car and documenting the process doubles the time. A pillar build comes to mind.. Thanks Shakey

[greenpigs]

At least he didn't sell his Charger and disappear like most of the others that are MIA.

[Dodge Don]

Today the weather was absolutely fantastic. Too good to pass up. So I decided to take the Charger out for a little cruise. After driving 30 seconds I ran into Mike (Shakey) we head to his place and he hops in my car and we go for a cruise, just catching up, 2 hours later we got home. Great day just driving around enjoying the car. Mike got a shot of me filling up with the good ol' 94 octane.



Shakey is alive and well. Still has the 69 Charger but just needs some time to finish her.

[Tilar]

   Let him know we were thinking of him.

[bull]

I didn't think I'd beat him to the resto finish line but it's starting to look pretty good. Not done quite yet though so I'd better keep quiet.

So Mr. Bull - you almost finished?

Good Afternoon Everyone,   

My it certainly has been a long time!  I must say, so nice to see that you folks really appreciated my contributions to the site and I am pleased I was able to help so many with my "how to" posts.  I felt that that was the least I could do as everyone here was so helpful to me when I bought my car back in 2005.  I recall asking countless questions and all of you were quick to respond with guidance and patience as I was new to this hobby.   

As you all know, life can get very busy.  When I bought my car I only had one child who was only a year old so I was able to spend a lot of time working on the car.  Something happened    and then I had another girl!  Still had ample time to work on the car and then they started to grow up.  At the arena figure skating 5 nights a week     left little time to travel the 100kms west to the in-Laws farm to work on the car.  Then a new house with renovations and the list of reasons go on and on and on...   

I haven't back for a while as I really had nothing to contribute/update on.  Car has sat covered in the garage for 4 – 5 years only firing it up a few times a year when were out to swap the snow/summer tires or just for a visit.  Have been travelling a bit so I guess I could have come back to play some games but just never did.

Anyways, thanks to Dodge Don & my neighbour Nick who simply asked the question "do you not have a desire to finish the car?" I have started to make progress.

With a lot of help from my friends, it's moving right along...updates to come (check out the Interior Assembly thread)

[rt green]

nice to see one of us old timers back. kind of a cuda ken type thing.

[Dodge Don]

Wait until the big reveal....it is looking AWESOME 

Very soon I'll have another Mopar to cruise with in this all Ford town 

[tan top]

  Hey Shakey  , good to see ya !!    

   

[myk]

 When I bought my car I only had one child who was only a year old so I was able to spend a lot of time working on the car.  Something happened    and then I had another girl!

The suspense is KILLIN me!  What happened?! 

In any case it's good to see you're still around-congratulations on the family developments, that's what matters most...

[69charger2002]

Good to see ya back Mike! Another old timer checking back in.

[Lord Warlock]

Amazing how fast time flies when you have kids running around .  And how it makes you put things off till later.  Kids are finally gone here, and I have more time for car things now. Maybe I'll actually get mine driving soon.

I remember shakey, Its been a while though.

[NHCharger]

Hey Shakey- good to see you back.
Bull has been MIA since early May-   

[Tilar]

Good to see you back! 

[Shakey]

Nice to see everyone again!   

Hope everyone has been doing well.

[472 R/T SE]

Hey Mike!  

I seen you posted in Dan's thread about his buddy's rig being made into a convertible & was gonna say...the hell with the totaled Charger, Shakey's back.  But figured it'd be frowned upon?  

Welcome back sir.  I'm not around as much but always wondered how you were doing.  DD has mentioned you over @ the Registry so we could get our "Shakey fix".  

[Shakey]

Hiya Mike - nice to see you again too!   

Have to credit Dodge Don with getting me motivated to finish the car - it's finally on the road and has been for the past, oh I'd say 5 or 6 weeks.  It now has just over 700 miles on it and it drives like a champ!

Glad to hear/see you're doing well.  It was nice to reconnect with so many old friends here.  I probably stated it before but I felt I didn't have much to offer as far as updates so didn't stop in as I probably should have.

Take a look as I posted a thread with some photos not long ago and received so many very nice compliments.

All the best buddy - good to hear from you!   

[Shakey]

Good Day Everyone,

Hope you all have been doing good.

I thought I'd stop in and say hello.  Dodge Don and I have gotten together a few times this summer and the site came into the conversation.

Time sure does fly by...looking through some of my old posts and seeing the dates when I was working on my car, when the project went into hiatus and when the car was finally finished and on the road - wow - it's 2022!

I'll pop once in a while and try to figure out how to post pics / videos again.

Nice to hear from you. I was talking to a friend about your car last week. We were discussing F6 green chargers.
