Mopar or No Car...
almost unrecognizable, I first got there in 91, left in 94 to go back to Okinawa, then came back and stayed in 2000
Yea pretty much everything changed there. I remember riding my dirt bike in Federal Way on dirt roads for miles.almost unrecognizable, I first got there in 91, left in 94 to go back to Okinawa, then came back and stayed in 2000

A long time in Okinawa.
Long time for sure. What's it like over there.did 2 tours there; 9 1/2 yrs total
Sounds good 60* and need no heater in the shop. I'm in the beginning stage of restoring my 73 scamp and have the heat on all the time now. Gets pretty cold up here in winter so not gonna do much painting till spring.I wasn't on the island all that much, deployed all over the Pacific mostly. Okinawa itself is pretty cool although not much to do there other than dive and hang out on the beach. Pretty much guaranteed 2-4 typhoons a year, never gets real cold (low 60's worst).
I'm up by the Canadian border about mid state.Where are you in ND? I just noticed your location, I grew up in Mandan... it is really a small world.
Kinda sad all the cars that got chopped one way or another.And on that note and in keeping with this thread, growing up there a buddy of mine who was a big Chebby guy had a 55 shorty wagon he was building (or trying to, we were like 16 at the time). Although I was already pretty much a Mopar guy at that point, I always thought that 55 was cool. We never did get it running or anywhere near done.
Ended up getting married and having kids and just got back into them a few years ago. I always thought Mopar was top drawer after my 68 340 dart as a kid and was sold from then on.Yeah there was lots of chopping going on back in the day. In my youth I traveled all over ND, SD and MT looking for good deals on Mopars.
Had a 70 cuda and challenger way back when I like the cuda a little better.Its kind of funny, when I was young I was never a big Cuda guy, I really loved Challengers. I did learn how to speed shift in a 72 Cuda though.. When I got back into cars it kind of snowballed... I am a little burned out at the moment but it comes and goes. I really need to finish my 73 Cuda so can move on to my Roadrunner or 68 Cuda.
