Thanks for the welcomes everyone. Liking this site already. Friendly people on the internet is a rare find...haha.

And was good talking to you too, RamStrat. And, JusJay, you were the one with him, right? Good meeting you too.

Also, is that the Garlits show? If so, I'll be there. Last year I got some good parts for the Cuda for dirt cheap.

And....here's a picture of my dad's 68 Charger. My grandfather ordered it in September of 1967 and took delivery on Oct 4, 1967. When my dad was 14 (1977), my grandfather was going to trade it in on a Subaru station wagon for gas mileage reasons and the fact it had very rusty quarters...but...my dad begged and pleaded for it and finally my grandfather gave it to him with the kind words, "You want that POS...its yours, but when you turn 16, don't come crying to me telling me what a POS it is." lol

And, my dad has had it ever since...and, now, my grandfather is glad he kept it.

But, $3000 new along with a Corvair Spyder as a trade...haha.

440/727/Dana 60. Let me just say this...my truck runs good...taken my share of 5.0 Muskrats...well, my dad passed me looking straight at me. ie...sideways spinning tires. And he passed me badly. If that car hooked up, holy christ...lol

But, here it is. This is a pic with the ralley wheels. He's running green steelies now, which I like better, but, its his car



And, here is a video of the restoration I made. It took him and I a little over 2 years to do it. As a matter a fact, we were almost sick of it by the time it was done. Every night, block sanding, wire wheeling, painting, grinding...block sanding. Oh, and we block sanded too...lol

Here's the video, though. Turn your speakers on...the music kinda goes with it

Outstanding, And THANK YOU!!! You did the utopia restoration to a true classic Mopar. Although some of us might not have the extra garage, money, and resources to undertake a project like this, I seriously saw that you did all the work yourself, help from friends, but no total outsourcing to do the work. I know you will be a GREAT influence to this site. There is nothing we cannot do if we put our minds to it. Obstacles are just an opportunity to overcome take pleasue in overcomming.
