Hi friends,
My name is Don and I've always loved the 'E'-bods. Grew up in So. Cal. and was just a little fart when I whined enough for my dad to start taking me to the races instead of his drinking buddies-mom may have helped out a bit there too! That was '68 and I turned 7 that Sept. 11. O.C.I.R. was like our second home and we made most of the fuel shows in the area and all the big ones. So we used to see all the top touring Stock, S/S and Pro-Stock cars, and of course Mopar bods of all kinds graced the flopper ranks and I was just hooked. Dad always told me "The Hemi-that's the engine, boy" and every couple of years he pulled into the GM plant where he worked in a brand new Dodge-management loved him. I promised myself when he took me to see the new '68 Chargers that I would have one when I grew up. I learned to drive in dad's Charger and saved my pennys 'till I found a clean '68 383/330 Charger-and there's some great stories there. I've had many Mopes since, but as much as I always loved the 'E's, I always had 'B' or 'A' bods with a few quick RRs, a GTX and so on. I don't have any pics of my cars in my new comp. yet, so I posted a shot of Christophe Schwartz' Olympia Charger I took at Monza in Italy. I write a bit and went to see the big 'B' battle the sporty cars at Le Mans and Monza, so figured I'd use a pic of my French friends ride to start. Well, I've been thinking for awhile I need the '70 Challenger I always wanted. I've got a few cars I need to move first, but this looks like a great site with a good bunch of folks, and I figured I'd start to look into things and maybe make a few contacts and friends. I build engines, and will do the rest of the drivetrain and susp. out of necessity, but really enjoy the engines most. I've done a bit of body work-no big pro-prob. farm most of that out. So, guess I'd better get to work on getting the other cars ready to sell. So, hi everybody and hope I didn't give you readers cramp!
Don
