    Its been a while...

    I figured I'd say hey to everyone, its been quite some time since I've posted anything on here. Been through a TON of life changes, not many I would call good, but I learned from them, so, they can't be all bad lol. I'm still breathing, my kids are healthy, thats about all I need. I still...

    Hey, I'm back!

    I just wanted to say hi to everyone on here. I'm back, hopefully to stay. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, I'm going to be selling all my mopar stuff. I'm going to start listing it today. I guess it's not a bad thing, because now I can focus on my priorities.

    Found this while going through some old boxes...

    Rainy day here in eastern Ohio, and I have no garage, so I am trying to re-organize some stuff. Going through an old box full of all kinds of things I kept for one reason or another, and found something I drew right out of HS, during my brief stint at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. I was 18...

    Is Moroso A-B epoxy good stuff? Anything better?

    Hopefully someone can help me. Porting tonight, probably the best porting I have ever done, when my fiance stops by with my little boy for a visit. They only stayed a few minutes, I went back to porting, but I was thinking of them, and for the first time in my life, I cut too deep. On the...

    Warmed-over 360+16 year old=too much?

    Once again, I am calling on you guys for advice. My 12 year old son loves THE (its not mine, apparently, he says its his. So I call it "the 68") 1968 Dart in my father/son resto thread. I made my mind up a while back to keep it for him, do pretty much all the work + whatever I could do to...

    Hard to keep going sometimes

    but for the sake of my kids and the people I care about, I don't have any other choice. Gotta keep pushing on. I have to vent to someone, so maybe someone on here can relate. I know that there are people much worse off than me, and that is another thing that keeps me going. Keeps me trying...

    Anyone like Shinedown?

    My fiance surprised me with a pair of Shinedown tickets tonight in Youngstown, OH. I can't wait! They have been on my list of "gotta see someday " bands for quite a while. She is awesome!

    My non-MOPAR project

    Ok, throw the jokes at me, I know they are coming. I am about to start having some fun with a non-mopar. The low-down: Some of you know that lately I've been selling some parts to get a down payment on a house. With your help, I did it. It is perfect for my family (my 3 kids, her 2 kids...

    Thanks for the help! I got the house!

    Just wanted to thank everyone who bought parts off of me recently. With your help, I was able to come up with the downpayment for a house! It needs some updates and repairs, but it is perfect for my price range and has 6 bedrooms and 2 baths, perfect when you have a combined total of 6 kids! All...

    Yet another reason that FORDS are my least favorite...

    (some quick background info lol) Although my first car was my 1972 Dart, that I kept for 17 years, I've owned quite a few cars. Built quite a few. I'm only 33, but I've owned more cars that years I've been alive. I grew up with tire smoke and the sound of a q-jet wanting to suck in the hood...

    If you haven't heard from me....

    I have been in and out of the hospital lately, twice with about a week stay, as I have ulcerative colitis and it has been flaring up pretty bad lately. I think, I hope, its back under control now. It does this sometimes, regardless of my diet, etc. Only thing to fix it is a super high dose of...

    I, too, have gone to the dark side...

    Hope nobody hates me for it. I still have my 1973 Dart Sport, and my neice is still named Hemi. (seriously.) But... Long story short, I've wanted a 4wd truck for a while. An 80's Ram with a long bed and 360, to be exact. Around here, you can't find one cheap (and I mean "cheap on a budget...

    Called off work today.

    So, I called off work today because I've been so busy I haven't been able to box up and ship some of the parts that I've sold. Is that a little crazy?

    Just had an Earthquake here in Ohio...

    I was in the kitchen, and the lid on the crockpot with the saurkraut and hot dogs and all kinds of other meat started bouncing around, I thought it was just bubbling, until Leslie, my fiance, was like "what the hell was that?!". I replied, "Um, the crockpot." "No, the whole house just shook...

    Cutest baby in the world....

    Here is the cutest baby in the world. And, a future FABO member, I'm sure. My son Ethan, almost 3 months old. My second son, and fourth child. Probably the last one, which sucks because I LOVE kids. I snapped this the other day. He is like a mini-me, and just loves to sit on my lap when I...

    Way too young...scares me.

    Yesterday my cousin Valerie passed away at the age of 32. The same age as me. We grew up together until about the last 12 years, where we only saw each other at reunions, etc. She was diagnosed with Colon cancer a few years ago, and it just basically attacked her body non-stop. A complete...

    Well, last week I got a phone call from my employer that laid me off a year and a half ago wanting me to come back!! I went in to talk to them, and they were suprisingly fair. Same wages, a weeks vacation, and my insurance effective immediately! So, its back to remanufacturing locomotive...

    She said yes!!

    Well, it started out I was showing my girlfriend the inside of my Dart, and we were talking about life, how long I've had the car, etc. And, then, I asked her to marry me....and she said yes!! I'm ecstatic!! She said I have to have the Dart running and and painted by the wedding. So, badart...

    The car that started it all?

    How many of you were hooked into cars by a certain car? Something that just "lit the fire" in you, so to speak, and led to your interest in automobiles? For instance, an encounter with a car, a parents car, tv commercial, whatever. What was it for you? For me, it was my Dad's 1972 Buick...

    METALLICA concert!!

    Not that too many of you care, but I am going to see Metallica, along with Gojira and Lamb of God tomorrow in Cleveland. This is the 8th time I've seen Metallica, and I'm getting pretty darned excited. 11 rows from the floor, close to center stage, isn't too bad either. Its my girlfriends...
