    Hi I love this stuff I see guys everyday that have some cool car or tricked out truck. Mainly reason being is I deliver the parts they need and they give me knowledge in return. So I jumped when I had a chance to buy a classic mopar because frankly I haven't seen any around where I live. So I got it cheap and it runs I just need to rebuild the motor and fix the floor pan. Hope people like what I do to her when I am done I will be putting pictures and stuff up once I figure it out. Thanks for reading hope u read more in the months to com..

    Welcome! Gotta love that Illinois winter road salt:( with the economy the way it is watch your local craigslist for welders also check your local welding supplier they may have trade-ins since you are doing mostly sheet metal you won't need anything overly powerful they may also be able to direct you to classes on welding in your area.After you get those floors fixed get it undercoated to protect them and reduce road noise.

    Yeah are old coach was obsessed with the run plays and it lead us to our failure of winning a championship we got second in state once but ever since we make it to the playoffs and get creamed in the first round

    Well I found out that I can hookup a t5 transmission from a mustang to my original 218 inline stock 6 flatty a guy by the name of Paul Curtis makes an adapter kit which I can hardly wait to get my hands on cause after a lot of debating I am going to rebuild my flatty and get a t5 tranny and just go that route it's easier than choppin and hackin the car to fit a 360 or 383 in it but who knows I might do that later on down the road...
