Hey everyone, how's it going? I am new to the whole b-body but I'm familiar with a few things. Just want to learn more and possibly get to fixing up the recent car my dad has bought. I'll start with his car collection, hope you like!
Lime Green, 440-4Speed - Cuda',
Beautiful car at that. He got it I believe around Christmas of 09' and a nice story to go with it.
When he started talking with the guy, ( This is all from what I think, and most facts ) he begin liking the idea more and more. The guy came from Vegas, and had it on a trailer to get here. When the guy arrived, my dad checked the car out and he knew it wasn't ready for the big shots just yet, but some money never hurt anything. It was actually not what the guy said, it was more broken down and needed more fixing then talked about. So as the days went by slow, months went by slower, my dad met up with some people over at the S&T Autobody shop located near Katy, Texas - Where we live. It was a complete restore from old to new, and now it's worth more than paid.
Carshows? You have no idea. He went to the autorama the past year, and I believe as well the year before that one. Don't remember what trophy he got, but he got one. He does a bunch of other small carshows here in town, but the autorama is the big eye catcher for all car fans, don't you think?
Damages to the car were not "critical", but they were messy. A year at the autorama or another carshow, one of his rope stands fell over any punch a nice pencil eraser sized whole right above the "440" lettering on the car, but that was repaired.
At another car show, once at this high-school, he was leaving to go home, and when he pulled out of the lot his hood I guess flew off, put a big dent on the roof of the car, but did not crash the window. How lucky?
So that is his most prized "fish" he's ever caught.
B5-Blue Challenger
This is one of the new cars, somewhere between 09' - 10', where they had only created a certain amount, but then later came out with a different set but still the same look and blew up the amount by thousands. It's not your average muscle, but it's won it's fair share of shows as well. No work needed, but he tinted the windows, which in my opinion makes any good looking car look better.
74' Dodge Charger - The B-Body
So this is the car for the reason I am here. It's his newest car to where me and him will be working on it soon once received all of the parts. It's numbers matching so it was worth the wait. From what I understand numbers matching means it had nothing replaced with anything different than it's actual set, where it was the same before and now.
I'm here to learn about this car and to see what we can do, not that he doesn't know what to do, but I just want to know something more than "Keaton, hand me a wrench", to where it's "Keaton, go under the hood and tighten whatever." or something more complicated.
So this is me:
Fourteen Years Old
Name is Keaton Jones
Here to learn about the B-Bodies
Live in Texas

So I'm glad I could share my information with you all, and just for the future here are some other things.
I work very well with Sony Vegas 9, movie creation software.
I've done a lot of work on the forums, as you might be able to see.
Working on learning the basics and advanced steps of java.
Alright, hope to see you soon :icon_winkle:
