Hi! From the "desert village"

I was only told of this site a few days ago and already I'm pretty impressed. While I've posted some things already, I figured it's only right to introduce myself. I'm retired, (guess what at) and lived here for the past 30 yrs. Originally raised in NYC I was around & participated a bit in the streetracing scene of NYC in the late 60s/early 70s, so I'm no "virgin". My current cars are the Hemi Dart I'm trying to get rid of & a BBC Altered that's eating me out of house & home. I prefer the old Gasser & nostalgia stuff, particularly Mopars which around here, there kinda few & far between. My friends & I really aren't "brand blind" so we all have some experience in building almost anything. I'm hoping & looking forward to hearing from other old guys that still remember & miss the good 'ol days when cruising was still fun & didn't damn near require a permit to do it.
