Ok, I found some throwbacks I will share.
I had a VERY unlikely start to a mopar life. When I was a kid and even a teen, I never knew I would be a mechanic someday. I would have said anyone was crazy for even thinking it. It's funny how life really has a way of putting you in places and in situations you would have never thought of.
When I started college in Colorado as an AVEP student (high schooler, taking entry level college classes), I never would have imagined that taking an automotive class because it had the right amount of elective credit hours and fit my schedule perfect, would change my whole life and how I see life. I would have never imagined I would become so fascinated with a modern marvel called an automobile and it would become a main part of my life. I never thought I would fall so madly in love with a car they call an "A-body" made by this "Chrysler company", made long before I was even born.
The first pic is me as a little kid with my dad's friend on a vacation (man in pic is not my dad) Second pic is me a few years ago, around the time I joined FABO. I was already bit by the mopar bug. I had just acquired a 69 Dart and I wanted to clone it to a GTS, so I googled 69 Dart GTS and was led to this site which is where I found all the parts I was looking for (still have the car with all the parts on it), and I just stuck around.
