Another damn newbie!
« on: September 10, 2010 - 11:50:13 PM »
Well, here goes. I stumbled onto this site, but it appears to have been a fortuitous stumble. I've got a triple black 74 Challenger 360 4 speed that I've had for too many years and the time has come to get off my butt and as Larry says-
'get'er done". I just sold my Desoto and now have the cake to buy the req'd pieces. As a Canadian car, it's not too bad, but it still needs a lot of tlc and I hope you all can put up with my questions. I'm an old school bodyman so the surgery doesn't scare me, but I'll still like your input as I get into it. Glad to be here!

Thanks for all the welcomes and sorry that I lost track of the site- comp just got replaced. The poor old Challenger is down to her bvd's right now and I've got 'er chopped up pretty heavily, but I'll try to get some pics anyways. Just got word that my AMD tin is at the border, so I'm starting to get twitchy. To the gent from Barrie, I'm in Cambridge. Regards to all!

welcome to the site...

you have no idea how lucky you are that you stumbled here... the resource, and knowledge base here is exceptional when you are restoring a car.. i know this, because i ask alot of questions, and can't answer any others.. :bigsmile:

Kyle, are those your sisters? If so, what say we go for lunch tomorrow at Springers, it's schnitzel day and the poor girls look like they could use a bite, if you'll pardon the pun! :naughty:

No can do...after the girls wash my car, they need to get a jump on all the date requests from the other CC members. I can put you on the waiting list if you like. :grinyes:
