    Newb from MO
    « on: April 18, 2006 - 10:16:34 AM »
    I've been a fan of  E-body, since I was 13 and my older cousin had one.  It only took 27 years but I finally have a project to work on.  Here it is as it rolled into the house, before my wife saw it.  Numbers reflect that it is a 71 with a 383 4brl.  A prior owner put a flat hood on it and a '72 grill after an accident and someone stripped the motor down to the manifold so I've got some parts to look for.  I appreciate all of the info I've gleaned from this site so far and look forward to learning more from all of the MOPAR vets.

    Welcome to the board MO_Challenger!  Looks like a very solid project!  What are your plans?  How much rust is there?  I look forward to watching the progress. :grinyes:

    Welcome to cc.com!  Thats a great looking car to tinker with!  Sweet!  If you're looking for part, post something in the parts wanted area and look around in the parts for sale and I'm sure something will turn up!  Hope you enjoy the site!

    Thanks for the welcome.  This car has sat out for some time, fortunately most of the sheet metal is in good shape.  The biggest rust areas are the roof and the trunk area.  Now that the motor is pulled, I've discovered a crappy repair job to the front right inner fender. 

    My initial plans are to bring the car back to original since it's seems to have quite a few options (2 tags) and is numbers matching.  That all depends if I'm able to unstick the motor though.

    I'll post more pictures as I go, just wanted to get started with the good ones.

    Welcome to the site, MO_Challenger! :wave:  It looks like you have a great car to begin with.  The proper front end may set you back quite a bit, but when done it'll be all worth the effort! :cheers: :grinyes: :thumbsup:
