« on: November 10, 2014 - 07:24:28 PM »
Hey everyone,
Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself.I'm James and absolutely love my Mopars.To me there is no other brand.My stable consists of a 74 Duster factory 360 4 speed sunroof space saver car,68 Coronet 440 2 dr hdt w/ 440 auto,66 Charger w/ 440 auto,70 Challenger currently being restored and my newest that was just bought a couple days ago FC7 4 speed AAR Cuda.Of course theres a few other A bodies laying around that I plan on getting rid of to finance the others.I look forward to sharing some of my knowledge and gaining quite a bit more.Thanks for having me here.

Welcome from Colorado! Where abouts do you live?  This is a great site with some really helpful knowledgable people.  We always love pics, especially of that AAR. Post them when you can.  :picture:

I'm on the Texas coast.The AAR is pretty rough and needs a ton of metal work.It came from northern Illinois so you can only imagine.It is missing the original drivetrain,but it does have all the numbers that it needs to have.

Welcome to CC!! Sounds like a great collection, can't wait to see em!

it's easier to use an external site to hold your photos and link em in your posts, this avoids the size limit issue + it gives you an online repository in case your hard drive crashes

I use http://photobucket.com/    after uploading a photo, there are links to use right below the picture. use the IMG link (copy the address, paste it into your post and *poof* the pic will show up)

Thank you!I believe the car is worth saving and it will be.It will take a while,but it will be done right and then driven hard.It's going to be hard keeping tires on it.
