Hi there, and hello from Leipzig, Germany
...at first : sorry for my bad english... I´m working on it and I hope it will be better ( later ).
It´s normal to introduce myself at first and that´s my way to a mopar:
My name is Peter and I´m 52 years old. I started to work on cars with an age of 18 ( my first car was an used Trabant from 1959 this was my daily driver for many years!) with an age of 42 I started to work on US-Cars, because I´m very interested in V8-engines ( it sounds sooo good !)
So my first project was a 1965 Mustang coupe (289 cui, with AT,PS). I worked on it about 6 years, than it was perfect... and nothing for me to do. So it must go and the next project was a 1956 Ford F100 which I put in parts till to the frame. So this was a complete frame off restauration between march 2010 till June 2011. The good was, it has an rebuilt 351 Windsor engine w. Ede carb + AOD-transmission, 9" Ford rear axle, Mustang II-front end with power brakes... the bad : but in many places alot of rust !
Now the Hod Rod is ready for the street and I want to make a little step into the MOPAR connection... so I bought a little 1970 Plymouth Duster in good condition, with a little work to make it ready for the street.
So in the summer of 2012 I will check the car on the street and next winter (latest !) I will start the new project with this car.
I want to make it to a little sleeper, but the 318 engine is not that what I need, I think I will push it up... or I can get a 340 for it. Let´s see.
Now the car is always standing at the harbor in Germany, I hope I get it next week.
After the first inspection may be I have the first questions.
I hope, here I can get answers !
Greetings
Peter
