Hello from Fredericksburg, VA! I'm glad I found this place!

Hello to everyone!

I am the White Buffalo and I hail from the Fredericksburg, VA area. I am 36 years old and feeling like an old man these days. I have been contemplating some ways that I might be able to fight off Father Time and quickly realized that I needed a "man project".

Back in the late 80's when I was just a teenager, I picked up a 1969 Dodge Dart for $300.00. I instantly fell in love with the car and poured every cent of my allowance into that car. It was a total piece of crap, and every "fix" or modification I did only made matters worse. I am not a handy guy and I usually end up hurting myself. But I recall those days with such a fondness and really miss that car.

Well, last week I stumbled onto a 1973 Scamp fixer upper. The car needs body and engine work, but I just fell in love with it. It will take a very long time (on my budget) to ever get it going, but I am looking forward to that day. I hope to surf this forum with a fine tooth comb and learn everything that my little brain will allow. I don't do any work myself, but I would sure love to learn how.

Thanks in advance to everyone for building and supporting the forum. I can't wait to jump in!
