Hello From Small Town Vars, Ontario

Welcome to FBBO from Copenhagen, Ontario, down near London Motorsport Park (Sparta Dragstrip). Nice '64 Polara convertible. As you can see from my avatar, I am a little partial to '64's. Here are pictures of a Polara 500 I used to own.

Dave,
That engine / intake looks a lot like my 62 300 413 engine.

Yes, it is the same setup. A Chevy buddy gave me the carbs that were on a '57 Corvette 2X4 he needed for his Corvette restoration. He knew they were not right for his car, and somebody else thought they were Mopar carbs. He called me and said I could have them. I checked the numbers, and they were 1962 Chrysler 300H pieces. I came up with an intake through Hemmings, and found a guy that reproduced the "Football" air cleaners in fiberglass. They were not correct for a 1964, but were nice eye candy and worked OK after rejetting.
 
:thumbsup:

Hello to all. First time posting on a club website EVER! Call me old school I guess. This internet thing can be a little intimidating to me at times. I think though, I'll get the hang of it.
Just recently purchased a 1964 Dodge Polara Convert. After the purchase, I started to do some research on the internet - you know, just curious about other 64's. Wasn't long before I went down the internet rabbit hole and came across the forbbodiesonly website. Low and behold there's a picture of my new car. Some of you will be familiar with this car as there was an extensive thread on it. And when I say extensive I mean it. I had no idea about this thread. When I purchased this car the owner gave me a lot of information about the car, which I was grateful for, but he didn't tell me about the thread. Holy cow, what a build and what a wealth of information.
Anyhow, now that I own the car, like most other owners of classic cars, I'll make some additions / changes to reflect my tastes. So over the next several months / years I'll be reaching out to you guy's and gal's for your wisdom.
Before hitting the send button on this note, I want to say THANKS to Glenwood for allowing me to be the next custodian of his former car. I know he had his heart and soul into his build.
See attached link for those of you who are interested in the build. http://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/can-of-rusty-worms.104526/
I've already done some minor work to the car (complete paint polish), but for the most part I'm just going to drive her and enjoy this summer. The winter is when I plan on doing the more serious items - stay tuned.

Pretty awesome looking 64. I'm thinking you have some labor and love tied up in this ride. And you sold it because?

It was just time to cash out. I wanted to do up my hardtop that I have owned since 1980. Also still have my 1967 Coronet R/T. I am getting older (74 in a couple of weeks), and can't hang on to everything forever.

Hey Charlie, looks like I've been outed! Glad to see it in the hands of a mopar guy and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I have.
We sold our place to downsize a bit and the new lake house does not have a shop yet. Just didn't have the heart to store it for a long time. Hopefully I'll find an interesting project once I'm set up.

Good Day Glen,
I figured that you would eventually find me on this forum. Quite a thread you had going on. I certainly have good reference to fall back on. The only major item I've tackled since getting the car from you was paint conditioning. We (mostly my friend Denis) spent 7 hours attacking the paint - the results were outstanding. Denis has been doing this for over 40 years - so he kinda knows how to make paint look nice.
As I stated in my initial posting, thanks for allowing me to be the next custodian of this beautiful classic.
Cheers from Ottawa, Charlie
