    Newbie from Indiana
    « on: December 23, 2008 - 02:22:38 PM »
    Hello:
    Just found this site and I have learned so much just by reading all the old threads. I have a 72 Cuda 340 4 speed numbers matching.
    I have started to tear her down and need to have a pro evaluate some trouble spots before I proceed. Any references for the central or southern Indiana area? Thanks in advance!!!

    Bill :clueless:

    Added some pics... Funds dictate that I do as much as possible myself... I have some pin holes in the floorboards, a couple on the upper firewall cowl, and a large hole under the battery tray. I have never used a welder, but plan to pick one up next week and start practicing. For my needs will a 115 volt unit work? Don't want to have to run a new circuit for 208v.
    Thanks

    Bill

    Welcome aboard!

    I'm down in Evansville, IN myself.

    I recommend posting your tech questions in on of the other forum sections. Not a lot of tech support in the Newbie section.

    Welcome to the site. The 115 Volt welder will do you fine for welding. I bought a set of hemi heads from a guy over in Terre Haute about 10 years ago. I don't know his name but he went by the nickname Swede. Ever heard of him and is he still around? Good luck on your ride. Jay

    I've only been in Terre Haute about a year now, originally from Columbus, OH. Is there a Mopar club around?
