LOL<> You guys are going to start a trend that might get our wives thinking things like we need to do it to, Ummmm, My problem is once in awhile im asked how that black RR and Will are doing and somehow hide this? oh boy rofl... I love the thought guys! Good looking car Mitch, Hopefully this will work out for Will to!

Hey Will, Great minds think alike. As you know, I finished the Chicken at the end of Jan. Somewhere around the first week of May , a car shows up here on a trailer from Indiana. My wife says , "what is that? " . I say, oh honey that one is for You . It's an automatic. She replies. Oh ok dear, I was just wondering.:female:

I like your and your wife's style! You for getting that cool GTS .. her for that response.

Hey thanks for the feedback fella's. Well, I guess I should be weary of what I wish for. I was whining about needing to work on something and my truck took care of that department for me today. Out of nowhere it started grumbling out of the left wheel after hitting bumps and taking right turns. Bad wheel hub/bearings, left front wheel. So, trip got postponed till tomorrow. Tore the truck apart and got it fixed. Sure glad to have an air chisel! Hub was unbelievably rusted/stuck in the hub mount bracket, but after some serious crash, smash and banging she came out.

Anyways, heading up to check out the Dodge tomorrow. If all goes well I'd hope to be able to post the work on the Dart over here. Don't know if it would tick anyone off, but you know what.....I'm at home here at FBBO. I'm sure there's a lot of good guys over at FABO, and i'm sure i'll be picking their brains from time to time, but if I get the car you'll be seeing Mr. Dart over here.

Plans...Well, I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch so I haven't got too overboard with ideas thus far. I sure don't want to build the same sort of street monster that Ol' Skeletor came to life to be. Plan would be a car that had some better manners for the wife. The Plymouth and I get along great, but the bird could easily get away from wife in a hurry. I'd like to go with a little bit of a warmed up 340, 4SPD, P/B, P/S 3.23's in the rear....Color, Yes Elk......The biggest question with any restoration! LOL...maybe a nice silver with a black stripe around the rear. Magnum 500's on some BFG's. GTS hood. I guess I should consider myself a lucky man 747. She's on board and was already inquiring what she would name him. Funny, guess i'll have a male Mopar in the garage if I end up picking "him" up.

Still have that shirt Roger. Only reason being is the wife hasn't found it yet! LOL Just lost two more last week. Ah well, I usually just buy the 3-4 dollar plain jane fruit of the loom pocket t-Shirts. No bells or whistle's and they usually keep up with me for a year or two.

Barracuda sounds nice tallhair. Getting tougher and tougher to find those (especially a nice solid one). Hopefully down the road, you'll find a nice A-Body to fill its shoes.

Well guys, I'll give you a full report tomorrow. The guy has several other mopars as well as some other GM's and Ford's. I'll snap some pic's!

No posts for 2.5 days and you are not out hunting, well animals anyway. You bought it didn't ya!

Excellent!!! Can't wait to see where this goes.:happy1::happy1::happy1:

Your post as had me laughing every time i think about it this past two days, finally had to explain it to the wife! "You bought it didn't ya!" ROFL

Alrighty Fella's........back on deck. Sorry, had to disappear in the sticks for a breather. Anyways, sorry to say that the Dodge was a bust. Guy was unable to come up with a title, so I passed. Here in this state, trying to get a new title for a collector type vehicle is absolutely ridiculous....so, no thanks. In the mean time, I'll keep looking/waiting. Sorry to get anyone's anticipation rolling. I know mine was, but trying to re-title the car is/was not a road i'd be willing to pave.

Heck of a nice find Mitch. Big block GTS. Sweet! That Vette of yours has got to be wondering what the heck is going on with all the pentastar's rolling in the door.

 

[99ss]

beeeeeeeeeeer

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Bummer, the battleplan for a Dart was sounding like a worthy Skelator sequel. In the meantime we all hang out waiting, happy hunting Will!

And I know what you mean about FBBO, I'm a member over at DC.com and a couple protouring forums but hardly spend any time on em. Too busy keeping all you guys from burning the place down over here

[BigBlock61]

Well you could always find a early 70's Road Runner to build for her. You could title the thread "Son of Skeketor". :yes:

 

[Propwash]

beeeeeeeeeeer

lol. Amen........

Thank's gents. Good to have ya over here holding down the fort Speedfreak. Lotta pyro's, lotta matches around this joint...lol

A early 70's bird would be a good pick BB61. Maybe something with a warmed up small block in it. Pretty sure she likes that 71'/'72 bandit looking front end.

 

[kb67mopar]

I know where a 71-73 charger may be locally..not sure of the exact year and doesn't look half bad from what I can see. I can inquire if you want.

 

[tallhair]

That would be cool as hell Prop .. I'll help look for one as well down here if you're serious but if you are sticking with an A body that's cool too and I'll shoot you local cars that seem like a good deal not that they happen every day but the do come up.

Just give us some direction on what the qualifications are

 

[Ron 73]

I have to admit a 70 Road Runner next to the 69 sure sounds sweet!

 

[satman72]

Hey Will, I'm thinkin' , if you're bored you could always come here to my place & help my son and I work on his Sattie. I'm sure we could find you some place to crash while you're here:jerk:

 

[MoparMitch]

Too bad on the Dart Will. I'll keep an eye out over here for ya. There is a 70 Cuda over here thats disassembled and numbers matching 383 4 spd. If your looking for an E body.
