Hello all you Va. Dart dudes. I am from Staunton, Va. (about 90 miles north of Roanoke) right up I-81.

David Beverage

You guys should be part of the Mid-Atlantic I would think. I work in Waldorf,MD...'Bout 30 minutes from the Virgina line! :mrgreen:

Lynchburg,VA here. and by the way Maryland anything south of the Mason-Dixon line is South.

roanoke VA here

Hello ,I`m from the flat part of Va. on the coast, Newport News. Any of you guys used the plastic chroming guy in Martinsville for your dashes?

ok..ok..ok i got to ask...what is the difference between the mid-atlantic and the south east? hummmm? well anyway i saw Virginia and i know where that is! i'm here in Rockville Va. about 12 miles west of Richmond.

I'm here in Glen Allen, VA, just north of Richmond, VA (junction of I-95 & I-295). Several MOPAR lovers here, but still outnumbered by Chevys and Fords..

Virginia Beach here. If you guys ever move to Hampton Roads area check out The Tidewater Mopar Club http://www.tidewatermoparclub.com/

i'm in Bealeton VA between Fredricksburg and Warrenton

Hey guys! P.G. County, Maryland checking in. 5 miles east of Washington, DC. Call it Mid Atlantic or South East, it's all Mopar Country.

Va. Beach here! Hoping to have the valiant up and ready for the local shows next season!

Hey guys. Live about 10 minutes from Winchester VA on the boarder of VA and WV but moving to Race City, USA in July, aka Mooresville, NC.

How do you guys like VA ? Is there plenty of work out there ? Im kinda looking right now at the Hopewell area which I think its about 25 miles from Richmond.

Are the schools good ? Seems to be plenty of work for my wife who is a CNA. Not sure what I will end up doing. I currently own a Tree service company with my father who is also looking but I dont know what kind of demand or competition there is for tree removal out there

I have a friend who is moving out there next week so Im going to go visit him when hes settled in.

I have a nephew that lives there with a few crew guys and a driver for Jack Roush. ( Mooresville,NC.)

My best freind just left the area. Nice bike ridin country you have there. The Blue Ridge/Skyline Drive was excellent.

Adam. My best freind, as in above, started out there in Richmond. Just west off of Midlothian pkwy/hwy rd ave...something like that. I think it was Pkwy. I can describe the main drag to something like Middle country road here on the Island. It starts very busy and will slowly drift off to a coutry rd. into the country. It will go clear across the state almost in a direct line to Lynchburg.

Plenty of trees everywhere.

What is a CNA?
My wife loves the state in the worst way. I'll probably reside there one day.

CNA is a Certified Nurses Aid.

Rumblefish 360 - You say "My wife loves the state in the worst way. I'll probably reside there one day."

Even here in Winnipeg, we know that "Virginia is for Lovers"...

Maybe she's hinting you're spending all your affections on that "other" girl :)

Grant

He he he, I wish!!!!!!

work won't be a problem at all adam. plenty of trees and lawncare everywhere. hopewell is an old community. mostly older folk with a little money. it wouldn't be a bad area. if you can choose look into chester, powahatan, or chesterfield. henrico is very nice but expensive. if you are looking more rual, then try mechanicsville or king william. beautiful areas!!

Im open to just about any were in the are. Found a nice place in Dinwiddie which seems to be out in the middle of no were. Another nice place in Sussex.

Certainly cant stay in CT if I want to own a house. You cant buy anything here for under $300,000 anymore.

yeah i hear you adam....around here you can find houses from 150,000 and up. i would expect 200,000 would get you a nice house. dinwiddie is a nice area also!

My friend just bought a 4bdr Colonial on 1.5acres for $160,000. Not sure of the exact area.

I really the the couple of places I saw in Dinwiddie. And its only 11 minutes from the Drag Strip !

Used to live in Newport News for almost 20 years while
in the Navy. I was a member of the Tidewater Mopar
Club and enjoyed every minute of it. Still have some
friends in the area.

Ken

I took my freind to his first ever Drag Nats in Dinwiddie. He had a show in powahatan. (Say- Pow-wa-tan. Thats what he said. ??? )

Hard to beat. Here is a quick funny story. My best freinds wife at the time was very worried about paying her taxes. They were due. Being a nice guy, I whip out my check book and say how much expecting (and certainly not thinking) a N.Y. type bill. When I heard they owed just a grand, I nearly fell of my seat and offered the whole year up right there and then.

Bad move, she got mad and nearly beat the crap out of me for laughing so hard and making light. But I was being honest about paying the whole year.

Real estate tax here in Newport News is at $1.20 per 100 dollar value and there`s a personal property tax on items like cars, boats, and campers. You`d catch a break if you moved to one of the more rural counties. Come on down!

Hillsville, Virginia here atop the Blue Ridge Mountains......where we have the largest Labor Day gun show & flea market east of the mississippi........

CT has the property tax on cars also. Its BS.

Adam,
The Richmond job market should be excellent for your Wife, they have several hospitals including the VA hospital and MCV ( Medical College of Virginia). It's a great city with plenty of history, museums, good night life, and you would be there right next to Virginia Motorsports Park. During the winter all it would take is one good ice storm and you would probably have enough business to last you a year or so! Come on down and find out what southern hospitallity is all about.

LOL, I'm not a native, but I'll second that.
Not busting balls, but 3-4 inch of snow and most everything is closed down.
What ever happen to the Pro Ice tem, the Richmond Renegages? I caught a game at the Coliseum.

How far is the Annapolis (sp) area from Richmond? Time/miles?

the on again off again renegades are now on again. there was a time when they went away and became the riverdogs, but they are now the renegades again. the annapolis area you are talking about i assume is va as there is also an annapolis md. the virginia one is about 75 miles. can take 1-1/2 hour to get there depending on traffic. the closer to dc the worse traffic is!!!! hey rumble when you coming? i remember you saying you would like to move here as well....

Map quest says 70 miles and 1.5hrs away.

the annapolis area you are talking about i assume is va as there is also an annapolis md. the virginia one is about 75 miles. --- hey rumble when you coming? i remember you saying you would like to move here as well....

Yes. Annapolis Va. Thats about where megalopolis begins. 75 miles, not to bad. I do 50 on the bike for an extra shift for work. (Multi location type of deal. Sometimes close, sometimes far. Mostly far. Mostly far. But I do an hour + on the bike without thought and standing on my head....so to speak.)

On living in Va. Yea. It IS real nice there. Hoewever, it is 15 years away till I retire and then we'll see whats what then. (Of course, theres the other half as well.)
I pass through Va. on ave. twice a year on my way to ethier Nc. (Family) to the coast or Ga. Hotlanta area. (Freinds and family)

Truth be told, one must maxamize the retired wage. We'll see how comphy I can get where. I liked the west side of Va. Lots of motor bike roads. Blue Ridge Pkwy. is smokin. I road (In April) down 81 to the Dragons tail. A rd. from Tn. to Nc. thats 11 miles long with 318 turns carved out of a mountain.

The land to behold is awesome end to end. Here's me noy on me bike I did it on.

fairfax VA here..

traffic is nuts, house prices are correcting themselves, and the people are a little "stressed" if you know what i mean.

still, i get thumbs up when i'm out in the dart and that's always cool. kind of restores your faith in humanity. haha

anybody close want to help a guy out who's car is currently undergoing a major rebuild? not actual help in person (unless you are a true glutton for punishment) just help with a few questions now and then.

i'm looking for Mopar guys out my way.

'74, create a post and post the questions away.

City life, the more congested it is, the worse people can get. It's not them as a person to start with, it's more the pace and demands the city puts on them.

Then there cranky and get rude. Take'em out of the city for a month, there back to being a real person again.
Happens everytime.

I had plans on going down to visit my friend in Pawhatan this weekend but its looking like a no go. To many bills to pay at the end of the month. Im getting real tired of this b.s. We just dont have the money for anything other then bills anymore and its making life real depressing.

Ohhhhhhhhh, your sooooooooo singing to the choir on that one.
Sometimes it feels like surviving rather than living.
My best freind lived in Powattan for years. Nice there.

you guys are both close but neither of ya got it right....it is powhatan....better learn it if you are going to move here some day ...lol:toothy10:

I knew there was an H in it, lol

Rob thats eactly it. Its just survival lately. Ive been doing a lot of work for the city housing authority and its making me sick. I'll spend all day cleaning the mess the people that live in the low income city owned housing have made. They sit and watchme all day and by the end of the week its a mess again.

They all drive new cars and have boats.There kids have name brand clothes and every toy they could want. They dont mow there lawns, they dont throw there garbage out. Its gross.

My favorite is the guy who has the new motor home that must have cost him a few hundred thousand dollars.

looking for a good rechroming shop in va for my bumpers. 73 duster!

looking for a good rechroming shop in va for my bumpers. 73 duster!

remember va. dosen't allow copper to be used in the plateing process. this means the chrome dosen't adhear to good to the metal so you will likely get it cheaper in price, but the quality won't hold up. you will likely be looking to rechrome it again in about 3 years.......good luck!

There`s Hanlan Plating in Richmond, but as 7demon2 said ,they do not triple plate. You can try Tri-City Plating in Tennessee, they are higher in price but also higher in quality.

If you go to Hanlon site, they show it getting copper, nickel, and then chrome plating. Check hanlonplating.com. I'm planning on taking my bumpers down there in Nov.

Strasburg VA here - about 80 miles west of DC out 66 and 20 miles south of Winchester down 81

If you go to Hanlon site, they show it getting copper, nickel, and then chrome plating. Check hanlonplating.com. I'm planning on taking my bumpers down there in Nov.

New laws that control the disposal of hazardous waste have really hurt some of the plating businesses in Va. It`s been years since I`ve been to Hanlon but I do remember some of the upper end stuff that they were working on (Mercedes parts) were getting a copper plating. I couldn`t tell you if they triple plated the bumpers for my Barracuda or not.? They were cheap though, $240.00 each. There may be certain companies that have special licensing to do copper plating in Richmond with an understanding that the waste is handled appropriately. I think there was another company in Richmond that did plating but they`re out of business now. A friend of mine mentioned a place called Richmond Bumper, but I`m not familiar with them.

BLUE RIDGE,VA here...near roanoke...near lynchburg...nowwhere near a 1/4 mile dragstrip!

I'm in Leesburg, about 35 miles west of DC. Grew up in Lynchburg.

Thank you for posting this! Would've never know about it otherwise, I'll have to make it to this meet. I hung out with Barry several times 7-8 years ago when he was building his Daytona clone. At the time I had a friend in Bridgewater with a Red/Yellow Daytona clone and I had a top banana '70 Charger R/T project and was working on building a street legal Bobby Issac Daytona clone.
