76 340 Duster
I'm 22 and this is my 76 duster. I bought it when i was 17, from a young gun who had it featured in the December 2007 mopar muscle issue. I drove it a week and started tearing it down. I've slowly been restoring it into a completely new car over the past 5 years and it's now close to being on the road. It's going to be a great driver with the occasional pass down the strip. It's got a mild 340 with a 4 speed, 8 3/4 with 3.91 gears and strange axles, line lock, ac, powersteering, power brakes, power windows, keyless entry, alarm system, and a good stereo lol I hope to have it on the road by spring!

I'm 23 and I've been here since 2007. I've had a bunch of cars but at the moment I have a 64 Valiant Wagon and a 72 Dart DD.

Thanks!
I picked it up at a local swap meet for $8. Guy told me it was for a Mopar but it was sitting in a pile of Chebby stuff. It "fit" just fine...
I just turned 23 last month. I'm finishing my BS in mechanical engineering, interning for an aerospace company 20 hours a week, and trying to work on my Dart. Most the time, the Dart is sidelined. I just rapidly through together the front end this past weekend. I need to fix a few things, then install my 13" disc brake kit. My build link is in my signature.

I vote for the young gun age raised to 30. most peeps in their late 20s are living lives that mirror the younger peeps. In this day and age of people getting married and settling into suburban life much later than previous generations :evil3:
Very true, okay up to 30 will be fine too

What are yall exactly expecting here? I'm not bein an ***, but askin a serious question.
Do yall expect a bunch of old farts to come runnin after you to show you how to do stuff? If so, you can forget it. What I would suggest would be to look for an older established member in your area who is a member in good standing with the forum.
Generally, when someone wants something, it's they who go after it, not the other way around. I'm not gonna go runnin after somebody and tackle them to help them, but I will offer help to most anybody who needs it and asks.

Judging by post #1 I believe OP just wanted to see some A bodies from people around his age.

Judging buy some of these younger guys rides I would say they know how to go about getting help. Some really nice rides the young guys are working on.

heres my baby purchased from a kia dealership that took it as a trade-in. the car is from the west coast mostly stock as of now 318 ps,pb and ac with a 904 doing the shifting recently swapped in a 8.75 with a 3.55 posi currently on a quest to hopping up the 318 up with dreams of big block power in the distant future. when my dad was my age he had one almost identical to it as his first car (first picture) and what has started our sickness with mopars
Well.. Since you said you're not being an *** just asking a serious question . Allow me to refer back to the original post since you didn't seem to read it .
Now I'm not sure where you got the idea we're trying to get help from anyone at all. I personally thought I made it clear enough what I wanted in the first place . But if not I'll post it again just so you don't have to go through the task of flipping back one page and looking at the original post .
"What I am interested in is to see the younger crowds A-bodies."
"We all have different styles so let's represent for the youngins here on FABO !"
And honestly I don't expect a whole bunch of old farts to come running after me to show me how to do stuff . But I do expect them to at least be happy there's younger people in the game who are keeping the breed alive . Don't flatter yourself in thinking I'm in that much need of your advice .
So what exactly where you expecting to accomplish ? I'm not being an ***, just asking a serious question.
Generally when someone posts a question like that they read through the forum or at the least read the first post to make sure their question is relevant
I actually put that post in the wrong thread. I thought I was posting in the other thread where yall were talking about getting help from older members.
Please allow an old man a simple mistake. I will just not worry about it since it seems no one can mess up around here. The two threads are very similar. I thought this was the one asking about help. I don't generally read through every single thread before I reply.
Yall carry on. Without me.

since you guys ratified the motion to up the young gun age to 30 ......I don't hear any objection......
Then I will add something a little different....not an a-body but I have a 68 dodge coronet wagon.
Rust free car that was neglected and sun baked. I am trying to give it well deserved TLC and get it back into shape. Wagons are a labor of love because a lot people turn noses down to them but yet you never see many around. I don't do early A's so since they don't make A-body wagons after 66 I had to move up to a B-body in order to get a wagon past 67 and something I can live with.
