Howdy everyone
« on: October 17, 2008 - 05:31:48 PM »
Hi everyone, I just found this site. My name is Kevin. I just got my first project car, a 73 challenger rallye. I picked it up today. I'm excited to get to build a car. Like I said, this is my first one, so I'll have a lot of questions. My car is currently in pieces, the guy I bought it from had dis-assembled it to blast it, then decided it would be too much work. Thats where I come in.

Just took pics yesterday. I didn't get finished unloading the parts till around 4 30 yesterday afternoon. This car is gonna need a lot of attention. Weatherford, TX is by Fort Worth.

I'm going modified with this car. I'm gonna stroke the motor, do some weight reduction, put in a cage, and set it up to run down the track at a decent speed. I'll still drive it around town some, mainly to show the bumble bee kids what a real car is.

Here's my car and I'm gonna figure out how to put the pic on the side too.
