Young Guy with an Old Taste *UPDATED*
« on: August 22, 2006 - 10:12:11 PM »
Whatsup guys I'm pretty new to the world of Mopars and have been introduced to the Muscle Car era with a 70 Lemans which has held up fairly nicely.  Im still young though, but already am concentrating on obtaining my first e body in replace of my A body.

I'll be around the forums bonin' up on my car knowledge with a little help from you guys so thanks and hope to see ya round

Sam - 16


*UPDATE*

Wow its been a year on the boards and im a year older and finally my dream has come true!  I sold the Pontiac and a month ago bought a 1970 Dodge Challenger.  I am amazed to say that with some hardwork you can get just what you were looking for.  The car is a major project as you'll see in the pictures, but im just pumped to get into the hobby at such a young age.  Thanks Cuda-Challenger !

Heres some photos

 :thumbsup:  Looks like a cool project!

Funny, I had a Lemans before my Challenger too!  It was a '69 convertible.

Congrats on the recent purchase!  It looks like it's a good starting point.  How's the rust underneath?  I see the rear lower quarters are rusted, but that's usually not too bad to repair.
