Newb from Aurora Ill
« on: April 03, 2014 - 12:47:11 PM »
Hello everyone, my name is Dale, and I'm from Aurora ill. New to the site, and I'm looking forward to my stay here. I currently own a 1972 Dodge Challenger that my father purchased in 1998 as a father/son project. It started out heading down the drag car road, but I'm at a turning point now, where I would like to return it to a more street friendly car, where I can load my family up and cruise it. So starting soon, I will be making some changes.

Here's a few shots from last summer.....

Thank you!

My plans are to bring the car back to more of a cruiser then a 1/4mile weekend warrior that it is now. I'm sure u can imagine trying to drive a 440 with 3in pro dumps, 4.30 gear, and a 4k stall in normal conditions isn't fun at times lol.
