'67 Dart GT in San Diego

Greetings from the Poway area here. That is a really nice find and looks like a great start.

99.9% of the people I have met and dealt with from San Diego on here are stand up guys (with one exception). You will be impressed with the amount of assistance and knowledge that will come from this site. It really is the best A-body source on the Web. There are a ton of Slant 6 guys on here (SlantSixDan and Bill Dedman come to mind) that can help with any issue that you run into along the way.

When you get back from deployment (thanks for your service, by the way), make sure to get a Factory Service Manual for your car (you should find one on Bishko Books) and start wrenching and see what happens.

Also there are cruise-in that go in La Mesa, El Cajon and Escondido. One is Wednesday, one is Thursday and Cruisin Grand (Escondido) is Friday. I personally have never been to La Mesa or El Cajon, but I enjoy Cruisin Grand.

Here is some reading to get you started:

Once again, welcome and enjoy!
