How did you get hooked on A-bodies?

Pure dumb cheap luck. First one I got I bought for $45 dollars (also got an army cot, a forced air gas furnace, a big lpg tank, and a compressor all for that same $45) after playing with that and then wrecking it I didnt do anything for about 9 years (got into motorcycles and jeeps) till a came across another one fairly cheap. Also practicality, they are smaller, lighter weight, so makes them easier to make them perform. Helps that I grew up in a mopar or no car family.
