I got mine when I was 15 simply because it was old cool and cheap. I have meet some mopar guys who blow me off when I ask them for advice and then I have meet guys who don't mind me swinging by unannounced. Over the weekend I needed advice and a part and I couldn't get the help I needed on this site.
I drove fourty minutes to this old timers house having no clue if he would be home. I walked up and knocked on his door and we went down to his shop and talked motors and he showed me some of the motors he was building for people. When I asked him about the part he pulled down a box and told me to buy him a beer next time I see him at the track and gave me the part. Guys like that are getting harder and harder to come by and I hope one day I'll have kids showing up at my shop asking for help.
