Hello all from Kansas
« on: July 01, 2009 - 09:56:10 PM »
Hello all, I have a 73 Challenger I got from a friend of mine with out motor or trans after 10+ years of bugging him. The car was siting for quite few more than that  "I was in the Air force overseas most of the time" Shes a good solid car that has been out in the Ks weather for 4 years, few minor hail hits and a branch during a ice storm hitting the front drivers side fender causing a minor dent prior to being locked up in a storage locker for 4 years. 
I have gone though most of the elect system and hooked up and repaired some of the things he TRIED to fix :pullinghair: now I am in the slow process of getting  the engine a 440 and trans in. This is my first E-body so forgive me for asking the stupid questions when i do. :bananasmi
Thanks All, Charles   :working:

 :wave:  Welcome to the forum Charles!  You mean it only took 10 plus years of nagging your friend to get that beauty?  Nice score.  This forum has more e-body knowledge than any other place on the planet.  Good to have you aboard.

Welcome to the site - nice looking car.   :2thumbs:  There aren't any stupid questions around here except the ones you don't ask.  It's extremely rare that you'll get a smart-ass answer to a car question.
