The first picture is on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The third pic is at the TN entrance to the Tail of the Dragon. We were preparing for a return run. We did enjoy the Cheohala Skyway on our way to the Tail of the Dragon.
Here's another angle with my father at the same location:

He doesn't look too happy does he ;-) I see he's closer to the drivers door than the cameraman.

Great stuff Doug! I would have liked a chance to go visit Dwight's shop. He was a great guy and built really great motors. I have a friends car here at my house with one of his 428 CJ's and it runs like a raped ape! He will be missed! Would love to see more photo's of your car and motor too. I have a 427 Tunnel Port that I would like to build up myself and Dwight was going to be my guy. I'm kinda like you, I like the old stuff for sentimental reasons. Regards, Matt

My problem is that on nice days if I have time, I'd rather drive it than shoot photos, so I don't have any decent photos of the motor (other than when it was out of the car and I've made some mods to make it more period correct - with a bit of help from Nick Acton). I never remember to shoot photos when I'm out and stopped. I'll get it cleaned up and shoot some more pics and post them soon.

That is awesome!
Beautiful car.
I took my dad for a ride once. After the ingress and egress... 
I hope he took mental pictures.
