I 've been lurking around for some time now. I guess it's time to open my mouth (good luck geting me to shut it).:D

A little about me...
I live in Michigan's upper peninsula. About 100 miles stright north of Green Bay Wisconsin. I'm a automotive technician, father of two, a 3 year old girl and a 8 week old boy. I love to hunt, fish, snowmobile, ride ATV's shoot & reload, and play with cars. I pretty much love anything that has to do with internal combustion.

I have an all original '73 dodge charger rallye 340. It's my cruiser (I just cant bring myself to cut it). And I am getting set up to start building my '65 valiant signet.

I was going to build the valiant as a street driveable "vintage looking" drag car complete with fenderwell headers and "patina" looking paint and lettering but I've decided to build it as a "sleeper corner carver".

I've been on MOPARNUTS.com for years and DODGECHARGERFOURM.com for a few years.
 
Welcome aboard, pics of both cars please. Don't forget a build thread on the Valient when you get started, or now if you're already underway!
 
Welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing pics of your Valiant build. Mine is a 65 Signet also.

Welcome from the Detroit area. I have spent many weeks in the U.P., hiking, fishing and camping mostly.

And like everyone else is saying.........WHERE ARE THE PICS?
 
Well I see I ciber stutter. ;) I'll chalk it up to learning this board.

As for pics, I have some of my charger but non of the valiant. It's out in my buddys barn. I haven't brought it home yet. I'm making room in my garage so I can get going on it. I'll bring the camera when I go get it and post them along the build.
 
Welcome from a downstate flatlander. We have friends in Ironwood and go up during the summers for a week or so. Enjoy the site. dan
 
I have friends in Ironwood aswell. I hope you stop at Gustafsons in Bravort for smoked fish on your way through. It's tradition when ever we go to the land of the "Mighty Mac".
