new home for A
« on: January 29, 2006 - 06:30:50 AM »
Well I got her home yesterday,  :woohoo: and I could feel the relief coming from this car  :worshippy I've definitely made a personal connection with this one  :screwy: :1zhelp:
 Very happy that I could intervene, and save this one, and I don't give one flyin F :swear: that it's not a Cuda, or a Formula S. It's a MOPAR, and that's all that matters to a real Mopar fan  :ylsuper:
 I would not dare post this without pics  :villagers:  :swear: :villagers:

Thanks guys. My plans? Just look at Oldschools  :ylsuper: (hey one can dream, can't they?) Seroiusly though, I happen to have a "spare" 440 hanging around, so thats where I'm headed  :burnout:  Starting from scratch for sure  :working:
My chall R/T is my first priority right now, so this A may be hanging around for a while, but I had to get it before it wa too late  :thumbsup:

thats awsome hedkace she needs some work but thats a fine car.as you know it was a nice warm day in the northeast and i pulled the tranny out of mine.and it made me realize i would have to be a fool to sell mine.so my challenger search will have to wait for a while.

Congratulations!   :wow:  I'm happy for you and the car.     :cheers:  You got a car you wanted and the car got a caring owner.  I know you are anxious to get started   :working:  sorting through your project.  The floorpans look in good shape.  Good solid car to begin with.  I wish you the best with this and if there is any thing I can do to assist you, (info, pics, parts sources) just let me know.    :cooldancing:    ................Oldschool

It is good to see another mopar saved. I like that you have pictures started from the very begining of this project. It would be great to go back and look at pictures  from the begining once it is done---although it might be a while. I wish I had photo documentation on the start of my cuda. Better late than never ! So - take lots of pictures - which makes me wonder who has the thickest photo album???  Have fun with the new A body.

Awesome stuff hedkace, very good. It looks quite solid for where it was sitting.
The floor pans look in good condition. Can't wait to see this one finally done.

Did I hear you say a 440 Black race set-up beast???  :naughty: :bananasmi :ylsuper:


Good score my friend.  :cheers:
