Still on this side of the dirt member
Hey there all...
Heard about this site from my Mopar Collectors Guide, and had to check it out. I love the site, and decided to join. Not only am I new to the site, I am still new to my car, I got into the car thing later in life thanks to my car guy friends.. They're all Mopar nuts and I am happy to say I am one too.. A bodies do it for me.. I bought a 69 Dart 3 years ago as my start in the hobby.. was a slant 6 car in need of attention. I have been doing little bits as the budget allows, and since I had no car experience going in, its been a learning process.
My girlfriend and I cruise in the car all summer with our friends, then in the winter it gets laid up for the next project. So far I have replaced pretty much the entire front end, and upgraded to a 360, went with Hooker headers, and a Cheetah manual shift valve body.. this winter its getting a new gas tank, frame rail repair, and an 8 3/4 posi with 323 gears...
The Dart made her first trip to the Nats this past August, and so far everything with this car has been fun.. and educational.. I have met great people thus far at shows and events, and even though the Dart is A LONG way from done, I never get dissed for the car being a work in progress when I go out in it.. instead I get praised for saving it and driving it.. I look forward to hearing from the members on here.. look forward to discusions, and I of course will most likely be seeking advice from time to time...
