Hey, everyone. Been lurking, for a while and thought I'd hitch up. Don't know where I'll fit but I'm sure I'll have something to add. Lots of knowledgeable and dedicated people, here. And a lot of us Ol'Farts. Retired Harley trash and lov'n it. Started building my first rig, when I was 13. A 40 Ford with a 392 Hemi., that I began racing, when I was 14 at a local 1/5 miler, in Ohio. I belonged to a club called "Trenta del la cosa migliore", (Italian for "Thirty of the best). At the same time, I bought my fathers 50 Merc, put a 53 Lincoln motor in, it had 6 Stromberg 97s, headers and 3 on the floor. Been playing with rigs and motors, every since. Over the years I've built A 50 Chevy Gasser, 56 Chevy street rod with a 409, a 57 Chevy with all Mopar running gear (440 with dual quads, that ran on alky, ran it a lot at (OCIR), 70 Nova with a blown 454, and my current, 73 Charger, with a stroked 440 (500 CI now) So, glad to meet ya and hope to have some fun...Crazy

Oh, I still straddle a Pig. Have a 93 FXSTC. What is the set up on the 440? Glad to see that you used Mopar motor and tranny. Most Mopar street rods, that I see, have a 350/350 set up. And thanks for the welcome.Crazy
