Hi, my name is Mike. Just a quick note about me and my TA. I bought my FM3 Panther Pink TA in 1979. Rebuilt it and drove it until 1993. It was then parked and stored not properly as I found out earlier this year. I am now in the process of a complete restoration. I have not done anything relating to the Challenger for over 20 years and am now finding out how much I don't remember about it. I was told about this forum from a mutual MOPAR friend. After checking it out it looked like a good place to help me do a proper restoration. I am getting up there in years and have been told by others I am a little stubborn but I promise to play good and listen. Thanks in Advance.

Mike AKA. DODGE1933
 PS. Attached is a picture of my TA around 1988

Mike, welcome to the site. TAs are the most beautiful cars ever designed, and it helps that you have an emotional connection to it as well. Have you registered with the TA registry?

How could you possibly have a car like that and not drive it for 20 years? That just boggles my mind!

Welcome to the site.  :wave: You've come to the right place. Lots of great people here and all the kowledge you'll ever need.

Hi Mike,  I like your car.....Alot!  :droolingbounce:

Where are you located?  The front plate looks like a California plate.  If your local, maybbe a member or two can stop by and help you work on it.

Way cool video. I had never seen that before. It sure gives me inspiration to work faster. But alas, I am at the mercy of the body man. Hope to have the TA on the road late next year. I am doing 2 completely different projects at the same time,so I have to split my time. But I will be working more on the TA after seeing this.
