Hello to all.
Well, it looks like I joined FABO way back in 2004 (November) and have about 16 posts in the last 5 or 6 years or so. Needless to say, I've not been active on here and neither has any of my A-bodies... :(
I could make a 100 excuses why I've not been active, but mostly a lack of time and other interests. Now that I'm almost 60 years old, I'm finding I have a little more time on my hands. I want to at least get back working on my cars and perhaps spend a little more time on this forum as I find it has tons of new info that I'm sure will help out.
I have 3 A-bodies: a '73 Dart Sport (originally a 318 car), a '72 Swinger (also originally a 318 car) and a '72 Demon (original 340 4-speed car). I have these stored in a corner of my shop and I've not worked or driven any of them since the 1999 or 2000 time frame. I know, my bad.
I was in the shop yesterday keenly looking at the '73 Sport. It has a 10/2000 inspection sticker.
I think this car will be the first one I tackle to get back running. I have an early standard bore 360 long block that I had picked up for this car years ago and now I'm really scratchin' my head on how/what to build for a good street/strip machine, especially given some of the new technology that now exists. I have already rebuilt and put 3:55s/sure-grip in the 8.25" rear and was rebuilding the suspension when I parked her.
Anyway, rather than just lurking on here, I wanted to say "hello" to those out there that love the A-bodies. Look forward to being a little more active on here.
