Hello fellow E-Body friends,
So, I am very fortunate to still own my first car and that happens to be a 1970 Challenger which I bought from the original owner 21 years ago. I’ve been ‘restoring’ it since the late 80’s off and on….mostly off. Some of you can relate to marriage, kids, jobs…relative priority.
When I was 17, my dad wouldn’t let me buy something with a V-8 for the fuel economy, so I found this car through a friend for $1,000. It had a /six in it and it was fun to drive but I had V-8 envy from the beginning. AlI wanted to do was put a big-block in it. Now it has one. Sometimes I wish I left the six in it but not that often. Its not been fired yet but I am starting to get closer. It was a well optioned six with very little rust…err…until Friday when I had the windshield removed. Enclosed pic. I hope I can get this repaired without taking the fender off.
The wife has been pressing me to either get it done or else…….So, I’ve been working on it more. It needs the brakes and exhaust to be finished. Then button up the top end.
I just bought a digital camera yesterday and now I have the ability to post pics which will help greatly with technical questions. I am looking forward to that as I am stuck in a few places. I have learned so much already on this web site. Well that’s all for now. Thanks to the moderators. John
